This is a response to chapter 2 of Writing Poetry. I reread over the chapter to study some of the techniques used in free versing and creating numerous drafts of work to use. After reading through the different ways to use forms to create new feelings and ways to play with words. The activity where questions were asked and a resulting draft was made from those interested me because i never thought about incorporating more than one person in on my writing other than revision purposes. This is a idea that i decided to try out in the future and hopefully that will be another addition to the toolbox of things that i can use to write other things. After delving further into the chapter, I noticed the expanding and contracting process and tried my hand at free writing an idea that I had and also contracting a previous piece i had already wrote in the past. Due to past experiences with English teachers, I enjoyed doing both the expanding and contracting processes and noticed a lot of language that wasn't there before i took out some simple words throughout the piece. Looking back at the original seems distant now, hopefully with more practice this too can be another skill I can use.
