This week's theme is about full immersion -- in the first poem, to the point of embodiment and in the second into the senses, provoked by a season's change.  Embodiment felt like the title for the theme, but then I just loved the words in Marge Piercy's poem title: more than enough.  These poems are way more.  Happy Writing!

Writing Prompt #1

​See yourself in an animal. Write about the favored (or not favored) qualities of the animal that you embody or wish you did.  Describe the idea using organic and kinesthetic details!  At the least, engage as many senses as you can.  Write for 10  minutes.

Writing Prompt #2

Write a poem with three stanzas: one stanza each about June, July, and August of this year or of a favorite year, past.  Or write a “future” poem with three stanzas: one stanza each about the coming  September, October, and December.  You can match Piercy’s tone, or not.  Write for 10 minutes.
