But what if you have four voices and they all talk at the same time?

I mean, I think that's another way of talking about one kind of "shifty" poem.

Alternatively, write one for each voice that talks to you inside your head and tells you to stop the neighbor's dog before it tells the FBI/CIA/aliens/OutKast about you.

Yes, and one each in the point of view of the FBI, the CIA, the aliens, and OutKast.

I dunno. I'm kinda partial to Don's banana pudding exercise.

The pillowcase exercise caught my attention too.

Maybe I'll combine the two and see what I spew. (grin)

Wow. See what happens when I don't check Don's site for a day or two. Ok, here's another one:

Wear a Richard Nixon mask to the mall. (Bring some paper and a pen.) Walk from one end to the other wearing the mask. (Make notes as necessary.) Go out to your car or sit on a bench in the mall or near the parking lot. Write your poem.

I think it'd be a heulluva lot more interesting if I wore a Bush or Cheney (aka Satan) mask for this exercise, don't you?

Yeah, Don's been posting some gems.

I need a real exercise though. Got any up your sleeve? If not, let's make one up, eh?
