  1. SIX-ROOM-POEM From the book Awakening the Heart By Georgia Heard

  2. In the first room … • Think of something that you’ve seen outside that is • Amazing • Beautiful • Interesting • Or that has just been staying in your mind

  3. Now close your eyes … • Try and see it as clearly as a photograph • Notice all the details about it • And describe it as accurately as you can • Don’t think of writing a poem • Just try to describe it and write your description in the first box

  4. In the second room … • Look at the same image as in the first room • BUT … just focus on the quality of light • For example: Is the sun bright? • Or is it a dull flat day? • Are there any shadows?

  5. If it’s unclear what the light is like you might have to use some poetic license and make it up • Youcanalsodescribecolors • Or if your image is, for example, the stars, describe their light – shiny, sparkling, red, blue

  6. In the third room … • Picture the same image and focus only on the sounds: • Are there any voices? • Rustling of leaves? • Sound of rain? • If it’s silent – what kind of silence? • Empty? Lonely? Peaceful?

  7. In room number four … • Write down any questions you have about the image • Anything you want to know more about? • Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? • Or wonder about …?

  8. In the fifth room • Write down any feelings you have about this same image

  9. Finally, in room number six … • Look over the five rooms and select one word, or a few words, a phrase, a line, or a sentence that feels important and • repeat it three times.

  10. Now create a poem … • Read over what you wrote in the six rooms, and create a poem. • You can re-arrange the rooms in any order, • eliminate rooms, words, or sentences. • Just try and create a poem.
