Fun fact: I’m living life.
I sleep after every driving passion;
numb to exhaustion.
Fun fact: manufacture date means the end of the process;
it’s not the start of an item’s definition
but of the end of production.
Fun fact: life is all still in progress.
NaPoWriMo 2023. A response to my poem a couple days ago. More fun facts.
Find a shortish poem that you like, and rewrite each line, replacing each word (or as many words as you can) with words that mean the opposite. For example, you might turn “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” to “I won’t contrast you with a winter’s night.” Your first draft of this kind of “opposite” poem will likely need a little polishing, but this is a fun way to respond to a poem you like, while also learning how that poem’s rhetorical strategies really work.
