  • Segments Transcript September 20
    LEDBURY POETRY FESTIVAL COMMUNITY PROGRAMME SEGMENTS POETRY WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 2020 : HOROLOGY © Sara-Jane Arbury EXERCISE ONE: This is a warm-up writing exercise called The Rule Of Three This exercise is in 3 parts. Use a fresh piece of paper each time. Part 1: Write a poem or a story or a stream of consciousness piece where your first word is 'If'. Take 5 minutes to do this. Part 2: Circle a word in your piece of writing that appeals to you in some way. Now write a second poem/story/piece where the word you've circled is the last word. 5 minutes. Part 3: Circle a word in this second piece of writing that appeals to you. Now write a third poem/story/piece where the word you've circled is the title. 5 minutes. You should have three separate pieces of writing. This is raw material of words, phrases, lines and sentences that can be used to develop ideas or use in poems elsewhere. Don't throw them away! A valuable writing exercise that makes you think about words and the writing process in three different ways. EXERCISE TWO: The theme of this exercise is HOROLOGY / THE STUDY OF TIME AND TIMEPIECES Here is some information about the theme: Horology is the scientific study of time. Specifically, horology involves the measurement of time and the art of making timepieces. Clocks, watches, clockwork, sundials, hourglasses, timers, time recorders and marine chronometers are all examples of instruments used to measure time. People interested in horology are called horologists. That term is used both by people who deal professionally with timekeeping apparatus (watchmakers, clockmakers), as well as aficionados and scholars of horology.
