JABBERWALKING opens your eyes to a new way of creating poetry. The trick is to scribble all of your nonsense words down while walking fast. The can be completely random and beautiful at the same time. The author teaches that you shouldn't hold back and you never know what masterpiece you can create if you don't try.

The author wants you to use all of your senses while walking fast. Write what you here and write what you see. This book is the key to learn how to become a Jabber-Walking expert.
JABBERWALKING sparks your imagination while getting you out of the house and on the move.
This book was a little hectic, but it is quick to catch your attention. This may just be the way to open up the new generation's eyes to the beauty that poetry can be. I also absolutely love the colorful cover.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to those who have a big imagination and who want to learn how to write poetry. I would also recommend it to encourage getting out of the house and becoming more active.
