Has your summer vacation started yet? Do you have your notebook and pencil ready? How about your guitar?
1. Write a song. Music and lyrics. You've never written a song before? Go for it! Summer is for experimenting.
2. Write a concrete poem. No, not out of cement. A concrete poem is written in the shape of the thing you're writing about--your cat, a stop sign, or a donut.
3. Write a story about 4 friends whose names all mean "sun" in different languages.
4. Write about a hat that travels from Los Angeles to Maine.
5. Write an acrostic poem about summer. Here's mine:
Sizzling sidewalks
Umbrellas on the beach
Melting popsicles and
Moments by yourself.
Easy-going days let you
Read and dream under a tree.
How is your writing summer shaping up?
