“What would you like a poem about?”

I typically approach each request with this question. But, if you don’t know, that’s okay, too! To help us figure out, I might ask:

“What’s been on your mind, lately?”

“Are there any changes in your life, that have been weighing on you?”

“Is there someone/something in your life, who/which deserves to be celebrated?”

“Have you been holding onto any heavy thoughts, which you haven’t been able to find the right words for yet?”

“Is there anything you feel nostalgic for, which you’d like to commemorate?”

“How does ‘hope’ manifest for you?”

I’ll follow with a few qualifying questions, start tapping along on my typewriter, and a poem will begin to emerge. I conclude with a personal reading of our creation.
