Day 4 prompt from NaPoWriMo:
“Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem . . . in the form of a poetry prompt. If that sounds silly, well, maybe it is! But it’s not without precedent. The poet Mathias Svalina has been writing surrealist prompt-poems for quite a while, posting them to Instagram. You can find examples here, and here, and here.”
Mirror, Mirror, a prompt poem
1. Look into the mirror, past
2. The person you see,
3. Deep in the glass, find the objects of your life.
4. Which one means the most to you?
5. Write it. It is your poem.
