Give your poem a secret...

skeleton keys and a lock

...and then give us one hint: too perfect rhymes; markedly jagged lines; a strange, deliberate change in tense; a notable, symbolic object; a poignant, timely interruption; a suggestive vision…

 

How might an omission become an eruption?

Where might we look and notice something’s hidden?

What might your poem tell us with its silences?
