For all of the horrors social media platforms exacerbate or even cause, the sharing of poems is an endless joy. I find @Litbowl to be a great account to follow on Bluesky (I do not actually recommend the platform itself because of its bigoted moderation).
I love this poem by Brenda Shaughnessy from her book Our Andromeda with its beautiful illustration of position and perspective through simple lines and conversational language.
For the first prompt, write about yourself as a small child looking up at skyscrapers or a crowd of adults and as an adult watching ants or similarly tiny creatures. Play with the perspective, adapting tone, description and even syntax if possible. You could experiment with switching from a short words and lines, indicating immediacy, to a distant tone, more technical/academic language and longer lines to indicate higher position/status.
The second prompt is to anthropomorphize a pattern or shape to apply to yourself. Is your life full of circles, cycles and clocks, or perhaps you are trapped in a world of rigid boxes, rules, barriers and borders?
The third prompt is to use the line “Or am I what god thinks” as a ghostline. Remember to erase the line itself after finishing your story, essay or poem and to acknowledge the poet with “after Brenda Shaughnessy” below your title or within your title.
Bonus prompt: write from the perspective of the bird, the camera or that of one of the wires attempting to prevent the bird from roosting.
Good luck writing.
