Obfuscation

Filed under: Poetry

Write an epigraph for a story or book. An epigraph is that cryptic quote or bit of poetry at the beginning of a story that makes your brain hurt ;-) Often they’re quotes that inspired the story, or connect some way.

But don’t let truth get in the way of creativity! Be cryptic and obscure and make someone else’s brain hurt. Use at least 10 of the words. You might try writing a phrase inspired by the word and then rearranging the phrases. You might combine words to see how they work on one line.

When you’re satisfied, take it to the next step and see what story it inspires in you
