NaPoWeek Event - Exquisite Corpse Poetry
In honor of NaPoWeek: calling one and all for an exquisite corpse poetry event!! For those of you who've never done an exquisite corpse event before, it's quite simple in nature! It's a collaborative creative exercise where one person starts by creating something (in this case, the start of a poem). Then, with only knowing the end part of the original poem, the next person in line has to continue it. In the end, you end up with a sometimes nonsensical, sometimes quite funny, sometimes surprisingly profound creation. Since this NaPoWeek focuses on some more ~spooky~ topics, think of it as almost creating a Frankenstein poem!
How will this work?
To participate, simply reply expressing interest! As soon as you sign up, feel free to PM me up to anywhere between 2 and 6 lines of poetry (Ideally more than one, otherwise the exercise wouldn't have a point!) They can be about anything as long as it's YWS-appropriate. After the first round deadline is up, you'll receive a PM from me with your prompt (the last poetic line of someone else's entry) and it'll be up to you to continue from there! Again, I'm only looking for 2 to 6 lines. After all the rounds have been completed, I'll post the final products to the thread!! I'm so excited to see what you all will come up with!!
