ROBERT BREWERS WEDNESDAY POETRY PROMPT

20/3/2014

2 Comments

 
For today’s prompt, write a poem from inside another person’s skin. Sound icky? Well, I’m talking more like metaphorically. For instance, pretend to write a poem from the perspective of Walt Whitman, Amelia Earhart, or that strange looking guy on the bus. Use this prompt to get outside of your own persona and into the persona of someone (or something, I suppose) else.


 A poem from the perspective of the inside another person’s skin

INSIDE LOOKING OUT

If I just grab the side of this wall
l should  be able to get along the way,
I can smell a strong smell of fish and chips,
I have been here before, past the market stall.


The next shop on the way is a candy store,
I love the sweet smells of chocolate 
Children laughing,  just out from school,
The strong smell of coffee in the cafe.


There is a crossing coming up on the corner
The roar of the passing traffic is deafening,
The stick I carry will find the edge of the curb.

I find the help I get from others strengthening.
 A stick of white is like carrying a light.
