Writing Triads


A SOUND
SOMETHING UNLIKELY
A NOTION




AN ANIMAL
A TASTE
A QUESTION




A SCENT
AN OVERHEARD REMARK
A BELIEF




Create triads similar to those listed above. After you have created your own sets, draw arrows and play with words for fifteen to twenty minutes. Then take your lists for a walk around the block, to the beach or another natural setting.

Continue to observe the world around you and add to your triads. Find a place to sit, take a breath, read your list and write for fifteen minutes.Permit observations and distractions to take you beyond the obvious into new thought patterns.

You will discover a prose piece or a poem!
