Introduction:
This exercise supports group members who prefer writing as a form of communication. An anonymous poem is created when everyone’s writings are joined together to form a single poem. Give a note card to each participant. Tell them you will ask a question and you want them to write an answer on their card. Ask them to keep it short and to write legibly. Collect the cards, shuffle them, and read the group poem that they create.
