For the freewrite this week, try something new inspired by the poem “Detachable” by Jenna Cardinale.
Detachable
The elk's antlers grow
until the animal is all
antler. Sexy requires
so much.

bar.

Cardinale’s work is short and surprising. Try to compact your language like her. Write a poem that is made of a single sentence. Don't forget to play with language. But also remove any extra language.
