Response to Jonette's Free Write, Week 1

The act of creating a list of rhymes and forming a poem around such rhymes provides an introductory catalyst into the act of writing. Rather than writing with a clear subject in mind, this practice utilizes the language and allows for linguistic play, opening ways one could let the language lead rather than trying to formulate around the subject. Also, this seemingly simplistic practice could allow for the poet to open their ears to the sounds of language and could eventually be used in the practice of more subtle internal rhymes in future poems. Having an ear for language provides useful skills within the spectrum of creative writing as it could lead to an unexpected combination of wordplay to a degree.
