Nothing too groundbreaking. I'm just starting by grabbing a bunch of words that I find striking, picking a topic and putting as many of those words in while still maintaining something meaningful(kind of a backwards approach). I also wanted to see how far I could take loose rhyme while keeping the scheme in the stanzas the same.
Dictionary.com's backlist of "words of the day" is like a goldmine for the stumped writer.

p.s. This approach has probably been done before but it's new to me. I love when I experiment with artforms because I have no idea what kind of reaction I'm going to get. It's curiously thrilling.
