Surrealist-inspired Poetry Prompt:

​

Pick three books of poetry off of your shelf & flip through them, not reading the poems, but jotting down any words that catch your eye. Choose nineteen of these & write a poem with them, adding as few of your own words as possible.

​

* If you don't have books of poetry, you can find poems on poets.org.

​

Happy writing!
