The task today was to write and index poem. You could start with found language from an actual index, or you could invent an index.

Find a book and look in the index. You will find phrases. Make choices and use them in a poem.

I last used this method in 2015 and the resulting poem was published in Three Drops from the Cauldron (Issue 2). It was called ‘Journey in Ancient Hills.’

The index I used at that time was from ‘Welsh Folklore and Folk Customs’ by Thomas Gwynn-Jones. I will be using the same index today.
