Firestarter Challenge Week 9 Title: To pieces
(the categories of the exercises will change weekly)
- Image: A dot of blood coming up from a pinprick.
- Form: Write a Haiku Sequence using a different color theme in each haiku.
- Anaphora: Use the phrase “We (insert verb)” to begin at least 5 lines.
- Rhyme: Use the following rhymes somewhere in your piece: Courts/Quartz and pill/trill.
- Fact: Use a scientific fact in your piece: Brittle, countless and majestic are all Shakespearean neologisms (words Shakespeare made up, or at least hadn’t appeared in writing before. We’ll get into the authorship debate another time). Here is a link of a bunch more. Use the fact of his invention of a word or two from the list in your poem.
