Prompt

I remember in creative writing class at CSU during the Spring of 1977, Chris Howell took a translation Kenneth Rexroth had done of a Chinese poem. He took all of the nouns and verbs from the poem, put them in an alphabetical list, told us to use them to create a poem of our own. He told us we could leave a few of the words on the list out if we had to.

Do that. Find a highly imagistic poem. Take all the nouns or verbs out of the poem, place them into a new poem. Leave a few of the words out if you have to.
