Day 85 - Write in fragments - The Daily Aftershock

Utterances, one-liners, staccato statements that build towards a whole poem.
1

Welcome to day 85 of the Daily Aftershock.

Today I want you to write in fragments.

I want you to actually come up with a sequence of one or two line utterances, I guess is a better way of saying it.

And you could almost lean into sort of epigrams or things like that.

But basically I want the poem as a whole to be fragmentary. So each individual statement is different. But as a whole, they create a poem.

I don't know if that quite makes sense.

I'm currently... sort of struggling with my internet, so I'm sort of doing this from my phone, so I can't actually write a full post about this, but I will follow it up in a few days,
