At the writing workshop mentioned previously, the leader handed out postcards and asked everyone to take four. He then said, pick one and pass it to the person on your left. The picking and passing was repeated several times. We were then instructed to create something poetic from the images we were left with. I had this photograph of Frida Kahlo.
I later looked at her self-portraits on Google images.
I'll post my poem below.
The prompt is to find a postcard: ANY at all. Maybe even the one that I sent you _refugee_, wasoxygen, thenewgreen, BLOB_CASTLE, ButterflyEffect, insomniasexx, ghostoffuffle, blackbootz, humanodon, eightbitsamurai, mknod, and Complexity - even if you haven't got it yet. or some other postcard or just think about postcards criss-crossing the planet.
or about a snail mail you once got from somewhere . . .
or if you've never had a letter in your life, ask your grandma what letters she has saved. and say any ol' thing you like.
