Welcome back to Saturday Workshop! Remember our Workshop Best Practices, and please participate and have fun!

For this week, we’ll go back to poetry for our workshop. We will also turn again to the pages of Imaginative Writing.

Try This 3.14

“An ode is a serious, meditative lyric poem that treats a noble subject in a dignified manner. Write an ode to something hip, pop, trivial, or trashy that you really love.” (pg. 87)

My Try

An Ode to My Heated Ororo© Sweatshirt

It was 2℉ (after windchill) and I didn’t check the weather before running out the door. Cold ASF. At Empanada Mama and the Pie Man, the Pie Man said: “That is not all you’re wearing.” Cold ASF. Don’t worry, it’s heated! Not exactly warm over just a t-shirt in this weather, but I can feel the warmth seep into my shoulder blades from the blessed electric coils nested between the layers of fabric. Like standing by a heating lamp. Like a hug. Like the sun.
