EXERCISE 011: IMITATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF. . .
this one is mandatory!
It’s hard to believe that we’re on week three, but here we are! Thanks for joining us, lovies.
Write a poem that takes at least three cues (it could be the tone, the number of lines, an image, a sonic element) from Robert Hayden’s “Those Winter Sundays,” including—this one is mandatory!—the line, “what did I know, what did I know.”
Note from janan:
You can listen to Hayden reading his iconic poem here.
