Exquisite Corpse
Exercise 6.5: The original version of the game is played with words. Everyone writes an article and an adjective on a piece of paper, then folds it to conceal the words and passes it to their neighbor. Now everyone writes a noun on the paper they are holding, folds it again to conceal their word, and passes it to their neighbor. Repeat with a verb; repeat with another article and adjective; finally, repeat with a noun. Everyone unfolds their papers and reads the poems they are holding aloud. One of the first poems written this way was: “The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine,” which is how the game gets its name
For our groups version of Exquisite Corpse, we shared a Google Doc to create our poems. For each poem, we took turns writing an article & adjective, noun, verb, article & adjective, and noun. The words we wrote were highlighted in black so it wasn't until everyone had written their words that the completed poem was revealed.​
A detailed unicorn coughs a sleepy lake
An intensely vivid government tripped the torrential poem
The curious phonograph explores an awesome baton
