Anyone can write a poem. It doesn’t even need to rhyme! What makes a poem good, is the feeling and emotion behind the words. This activity helps to unlock creativity by forcing one to write words while being timed.
You will need a piece of paper, pencil and a timer.
Right an emotion you are struggling with or feel strongly about down the middle of your paper. See example below…
H
A
P
P
Y
Now it is time to set the timer and get busy filling in words and phrases that begin with each letter all the way down. See example below…
H aving family
A ppreciating time
P ainting
P ossibilities
Y es this is a wonderful life and it’s mine!
This exercise forces creativity and it can also be fun to see what is created. It can also be an enjoyable activity to do in a group.
