Write a Golden Shovel
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.

Repent, Repeat
I sin again and again, as
If every repentance is yet
another lie. But!
I feel a hopful, mending knock,
Within my chest as I breath.
I know the world, with you, can shine.
I feel your opus deep within and,
With a start I shall seek!
I know I if I truly try to,
The broken bond can begin to mend.
"Batter my heart, three-person'd God", John Donne
