dVerse prompt from Ingrid:
For today’s Poetics, would like you to try something a little different. Perhaps you are used to composing in this way; perhaps you’ve never done it before. Either way, here are the steps I want you to take:
Begin to compose a poem without putting pen to paper: you can say the words in your head, or repeat them out loud. Record them, if you wish, as an aid to memory. Try to complete the poem as far as possible without writing it down. Think about the devices discussed above: regular rhythms, repeated phrases or ‘motifs’, alliteration and rhyme schemes – anything to aid the memory and help the words to flow. Alternatively, why not compose a stream-of-consciousness poem orally, recording the words as they come to you?

I went through the alphabet in google with "art is..." and came up with a long list of words, then highlighted the ones that jumped out at me and put them on a separate sheet.  From there I built a poem.  This was a prompt from https://dversepoets.com/
