This week’s Chautauqua workshop under Rick Hilles is a workshop of “jailbreaks” — roughly taking chances with your own poetry and writing “differently” — that is writing a different type of poem than you are used to writing. So, my jailbreak of the night? The writing prompt is to make a list of 10 things you fear or 10 things that allure you. Then, write a poem from the point of view of that thing. What am I going to write about? Leeches. Yep, leeches. They disgust me, yet they are strangely fascinating — believe it or not they have such an interesting history. So, I’m off to my leeches poem.
