WHAT IF GAME #26- 09.01.09 for Artist & Photographers & Writers:
Take these three ideas:
1) Any object
2) Photograph, draw or write about the object from smallness. Imagine you are very very small
3) Try to keep this non-surrealistic.
Structure an art piece or photograph or poem or story. Remember you're turning these abstract concepts into objects, situations, settings, characters. My concept behind this is today is Smallness. For example: You can take a picture of your table from the floor's point of view/angle. Another example would be placing an object on a table and then photographing it from the level of the table's edge, just over the edge so you see the object.
The WHAT IF GAME ideas are endless. Artist and photographers can use this as well. Construct these structure ideas any way you like.

Using Section IV: Impressive Phrases and staying with structure all the other people in your story outside the MC and OC really support one of those two points of views. But all these people can move in a structured cycle too. Perhaps, in the first act all the people in this story express resentment at something.
Perhaps, in the second act all the people in this story express indignation at something.
Perhaps, in the third act all the people in this story express anger.
Perhaps, in the finally all the people in this story express rage. You could end up with a Bonfire of the Vanities plot.
Using Section V: creature of circumstance begins your poems or is an image of your poem or even a metaphor for your poem.
Perhaps, in the second stanza is about prerogative of age. What does "prerogative of age" mean to you. Describe "prerogative of age" in a scene with characters and setting and dialogue.
Perhaps, in the third stanza is about "wiles of innocence." Again find a setting, characters, dialogue to demonstrate or show wiles of innocence. Maybe this stanza is only dialogue between the two characters "create of circumstance" and "prerogative of age."
