So the other day in our school's creative writing club, we did this as a warm up. This would be such a fun to do with one, two, or many friends. It's so easy and so fun! You get really cool ideas and thoughts from the things you write. :) (sadly, this was the day both Sam and Rachel weren't at club)
How to:
It's nothing difficult, as we literally did this as a warm up for the club it wouldn't be so difficult, and all you need is a paper and writing tool (i.e. pencil or pen, maybe a quill and ink, feather pens, maybe you use crayons or water color to write). Anyway, that's all!
Basically what you do:
Each person, on their own piece of paper, will start by writing one word, phrase or sentence. This paper is then passed to the next person, depending on how you want the circle to flow. Let's say you pass the papers to the person to your right, the person to your left will give you theirs, and this happens all around the group. You will read the sentence above and write down another sentence. You keep doing this as all the papers go around the circle. (if none of this makes sense I'm sorry, you may be able to google something like this).
Here's the poem that I started (meaning I wrote the first line, and then someone else wrote the next, and then the person next to them wrote the next sentence, and so on)
(also I did different fonts for each person)
Little drops drip from notes,
they whispered their secrets
spell binding one another in such a vicious game of lies,
breaking the hearts of many
and taking the life from belief
Singing hymns without faith, confessions without meaning
but I always believed in you
and I always fell for your mind
the drops continued to drip
Wasn't that so cool!? Every single line had it's own amazing little meaning, but each line came together perfectly. :)
I really hope some of you guys try this out, because it was sooo cool to see what other people had to say about certain lines to make it work with the theme of the poem.
Thanks guys, happy writing!
