First of all, let’s read these sentences of Wallace Stevens:

10 sentences about “poetry”

  1. In poetry, we seek to hunt life.
  2. Poetry is a meteor.
  3. Poetry elevates the feeling of truth.
  4. In poetry, you must love words; Scenes and pictures and echoes; With all the power you have in your pocket to love something.
  5. Poetry should be read with nerves.
  6. poetry is nature created by the poet.
  7. The body is a big poem.
  8. Money is also a kind of poetry.
  9. Poetry must be irrational.
  10. Poetry is the renewal of experiences

You read the sentences above, now think that for the next hundred days, every day about one word — like what Wallace Stevens did with the word “poetry” - Write ten different sentences.

If you write on paper. A notebook of one hundred pages is enough for this. If you are typing, assign a Word file to this task.

But don’t forget this point: do this exercise quickly and don’t let it take a lot of time.

Let’s do a little exercise right now:

Within 5 minutes, write 10 sentences about “writing” as fast as possible.

Even “writing is a donkey” is acceptable.

Write and then read the rest of this article.

did you write?

So, which of the ten sentences you wrote is the most interesting to you?

If you like, share your sentence on this page.

Why is this exercise important?

. Increased sensitivity to words and sentences
. Practicing different sentence structures
. Clarifying our thoughts on different topics

If you write 10 short sentences about 1 word every day for 100 days, you will have 1000 sentences after 100 days.

Do you join this challenge?

And a few more sentences about the importance of writing short sentences:

  1. Continuous practice of sentence writing has a positive effect even on our speech. When we speak more concisely and creatively, we attract more attention.
  2. By writing short sentences daily, we better record the ideas and thoughts that are formed in the course of daily life.
  3. By practicing writing sentences, we can provide the necessary content for our pages in social networks.
