A couple writing exercises involving Joshua Trees
Here’re a couple of writing exercises, or, poetry exercises involving Joshua Trees.
1) Write a short narrative about waking up just before dawn while camping in the desert. Let us know if you’re alone, and why, or who you’re with, and one odd little thing they do. Here’s a picture of Joshua Trees just before dawn to help you visualize.
2) Write a prose poem/flash fiction about someone imagining a field of gigantic Joshua trees. Only dropping small hints, interspersed in the imagination, let the reader know that the person fantasizing is driving through the desert, either just after, during, or just before something very tumultuous.
