In things

small sort of possible example:

The Red Wheelbarrow

William Carlos Williams

---

so much depends
upon a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.

In honor of winter

your writing exercise for the week is:

freeze!

in other words, slow waaaaay down. if you're already working on something, choose a moment and stretch it out. if you're want to start a new piece, start step by step, slowly slowly describing each little thing you see, feel taste, etc.

Also: check out this poem vid, "The Veil", by Laura Mullen (and some of the resulting convo).
