I’ve been reading Kyle Vaughn’s Lightning Paths: 75 Poetry Writing Exercises, which inspired me to delve into another book study of poetry forms and responses. I’ll be making my way through the exercises and prompts between now and the end of the year.
Today’s challenge is Imagery of Sound poetry, in which Vaughn challenges writers to write a poem using sound images beginning with the words I heard inside…..focusing on volume, pitch, and those craft images that represent sound.
I heard inside
the smack of
your words
echoes still
bouncing
off my heart
through my soul
this empty chamber
hollow
echoing
echoing
echoing
