We had a wonderful time with Tina Mozelle Braziel as she read and lead us in a writing workshop! Below is the prompt she lead us through:
Start with a list of things that have brought you comfort in the pandemic.
Then answer these about one or more of them:• Where you first encountered it• What you associate with it• How you felt about it before the pandemic and how you feel about it now• How your relationship with it may look in the future
Then use Tina’s “To Season” as a guide to write your own poem…• First write a praise phrase like “Now let me praise parsley, the pause of leaf,”• then a sensory phrase “like on the 99 cent Stuckey’s breakfast plate,”• then a second praise (maybe about the first time you saw it),• then praise it again or praise something else connected–note if those connections bring something new out,• then you could address what you are writing about or something similar, maybe demand something, ask a question, thank/praise it directly…
