It's time to “work out” your writing muscles. Take a deep cleansing breath and stretch!
CHOOSE a favorite song refrain, poem, or paragraph. Borrow another writer's structure to use as the skeleton/scaffolding for your own work.
CHANGE the words in the poem that are in bold print. REPLACE with your own words using the scaffolding that is already in place. Try the poem,The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams.
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.

stretches with us. We will be happy to post them.
