Everyone has their own way of doing things.

The traditional classroom setting has produced many great thinkers and doers throughout the ages. Additionally, “the world as a classroom” model has also given rise to countless prolific works.

While each method has its own merit, no one way of learning is better or worse than another. The most effective learning may occur when a combination of methods is utilized.

Comparing notes among peers is a valuable interaction for all parties, regardless of educational background. Plus, it's fun to peer at the mind's inner-workings from fresh perspectives.

That being said, the way I have learned to create poetry is by fusing words with visual images. I find the words flow out more effortlessly when I allow myself the freedom to doodle or sketch during “writing time”.

Here is one example of an illustrated poem I made recently, entitled, “What Did You Say?”. (Fun fact: This little nugget came out of my pen right before the four poems in my #verse-therapy series.)

It was so plain before getting its colors

Here is another example of my visual writing, this time with a tessellation {{(!)}}, inspired by an Art Party recently had by @soulturtle, @manouche, (and her sister), @bhavyadesai, and @karunya. It's kinda chibi. The poem for this one has yet to be written fully...

Pre-color archetypal tessellation poetry fodder

Care to compare notes?

I showed you mine, now you show yours.

(But only if you want to!)
