Somatic Poetry

This is ridiculous to me. What would cause someone to come up with this stuff. I question if they learn from experience or if this was a joke that truly started to inspire people to write amazing poems.

One asked to go to a bookstore and find a certain page in which you were suppose to collect one word that you liked. Then to do this repeatedly with eight other different genre's. With those nine words you were supposed to sit in the book store and write an poem. This is the simplest of most request other poems I had read asked for. This is the one thing I believe I would do. As for the rest of the poems I doubt I would finish out the request listed.

With so much religious like background, I would have thought there would be more calming like request that would relax you. That's not what I get from this. If I am to feel embarrassed by doing what is suppose to help me, it would reflect greatly in my poem. Is that the point?
