The golden shovel poetic form created by Terrance Hayes and inspired by Gwendolyn Brooks: Here are the rules for the Golden Shovel: - Take a line (or lines) from a poem you admire. - Use each word in the line (or lines) as an end word in your poem. - Keep the end words in order. - Give credit to the poet who originally wrote the line (or lines). - The new poem does not have to be about the same subject as the poem that offers the end words. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poem/17315 http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/244278 Source: https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/golden-shovel-poetic-form I will also be posting my own as a referance!
