SPAM prompt line: Big summer sale
Write fifteen statements that begin "Big summer sale." (The number is arbitrary. If you can't come up with 15 or want to keep going after 15, that's fine.)When you're done, without reading what you've written, go through and delete "Big summer sale" from every line. Now take a look at what you have left and create a poem from that.
Happy writing...
