WRITERS WORKSHOP NEWS The Writers Workshop at Koontz Lake is experiencing a remarkably productive season. Last month’s assignment of haiku and cinquains revealed much hidden talent, many of the poems being initial efforts. Ed Moravck's deft play on words esoked a delayed reaction from the reader. Dolores Niendorf’s haiku covered the four seasons. A favorite of the group was a "summer" offering. "What audacity!/ The sh perched on my swatter and checkmating me.” This month's assignment was to take any picture of their choice and write a story, poem or essay about whatever emotion or memory it evoked, or whatever ideas it suggested to the writer. Some wellcrafted examples were "Soliloquy on a Round Barn" by Moravek; a poem about an Ozarks childhood recalled to mind by the picture of an old gristmill; by Niendorf; a philosophical commentary on an impressionist painting which had Ben Franklin’s words, "What hurts, instructs" at the bottom, by Deane Marshall, and two poems, one free verse, one rhymed; by Nadine Keiper, inspired by a picture of baby foxes peeking from a hollow log. Adelaide Stitils tried reversing the assignment and managed to get pictures which described poems she had already written. Subsequent meetings will have a coordinator and writing exercises will be given, besides the reading and criticism of the assignments. July’s assignment is Independence Day and it is the writer’s choice, as usual, whether it will be poetry, essay, short story or article. Visitors and/or new members are always welcome. The Workship meets at 8 o'clock each first Tuesday at the Koontz Lake Library, located on State Road 23. two doors north of the American State Bank.
