Toward the end of the afternoon, we received an additional prompt. We each wrote down three cultural icons on separate strips of paper. We then mixed up all of paper strips and then chose three. Additionally, Cat had us randomly choose three business cards from her collection.
The idea is to create a poem which features one of more cultural icons "in conversation" with the business from the card. Our cultural icons ran the gamut. I wrote down Bill Clinton playing the saxophone, Oprah Winfrey, and Bart Simpson.
From the collection of strips, I ended up with the names Marilyn Monroe, Mother Theresa, and Brenda Starr. I quickly learned that Brenda Starr was a comic book character --a female reporter from the 1940s and onward.
I had three different business cards, but ultimately chose to write in response to a card that advertised a mime/entertainer.
My rough draft is currently divided into three sections, but it focuses on an underappreciated mime who meets and falls for Brenda Starr.
