Write a poem using the prompts below.
Write a poem that describes a familiar activity in such close detail that the activity seems strange. Use the first person point of view, and have the speaker act in an unexpected way at the end of the poem. Do not explain her actions. Use Elizabeth Bishop’s “The Fish” as a model, and borrow her style freely.
Write a poem that celebrates your idiosyncrasy. Use Lucille Clifton’s “Homage to My Hips” as a model.
