Repeated phrase collaborative poems are a creative writing exercise that encourages group participation and poetic expression. This technique involves multiple contributors working together to create a cohesive poem using a repeated phrase or line as a structural element.
The process typically follows these steps:
- A group selects a phrase to repeat throughout the poem
- Each participant contributes a line or stanza, incorporating the repeated phrase
- Contributions are arranged to form a complete poem
- The group may revise and refine the poem collectively
This collaborative approach fosters creativity, teamwork, and a sense of shared ownership in the final product. It’s often used in educational settings to teach poetic devices, encourage self-expression, and build community among students.
