Can you spare a few minutes to help with an experimental poetry project on your phone?

Hi everyone,

I run an experimental poetry project called the Predictive Text Poetry Project, which has been running for over a year now! Every once in a while I release a prompt and ask people from around the world and across different platforms to type that prompt into their phones. They then add to it using their phone's predictive text, completing a phrase or a paragraph of up to 25 words.

The latest prompt is: "It's all lifting...", in light of lockdown rules easing in the UK next week.

You can submit your responses below as a comment, or via my website where you can also find out more about the project and read some of the previous poems:

I will then collate all of the responses, and make a poem from them. The poem will be posted on my website and all my social media channels, with credit to everyone who contributed.

    The poem has just been published on my website here: https://jkashdanbrown.com/2021/08/06/its-all-lifting/

    I hope you like it, and thanks again for helping me to create it. This has been such a wonderful collaborative experience for me and I'm so grateful to you all, and to the Dots creative community, for making it possible.

  • It's all lifting, there is no certainty, I am scared, some may be cautious, some careless and where will the rest of us be
  • It's all lifting me up and so it is just me and my creative life and my love and I truly believe that it's all good
  • It’s all lifting up now so I’m going back to the park now and then I’ll get the car out to get some food and then go back to work again.
  • It’s all lifting and my blood pressure is not going well so I just got scared and so sick of the living situation and my anxiety and my life changing the way it is.
    Good luck! x
