Their responses are then put together to form a collaborative ... poem. word collage. creative prose. we never know until it's finished. This process is meant to remind us that if we all just contribute our part to a creative project, the end result will be something exquisitely beautiful - even if (especially if) it's nothing we would have thought to create on our own. The prompts have been on a summer break. Watch for a new prompt in early fall1 To read past poems, click here. * * * * * * * * * * * * * PUB TRIVIA @ BIRDHOUSE BREWING COMPANY Sharpen your pencils, peeps, because I'll be hosting Trivia Night, Thursdays in September, at Birdhouse Brewing Company!
