"For this prompt, you'll come up with a poem about an object that describes you. First, choose an object. Next, list down the reasons you think the object you chose represents you. From your list of reasons which one is the most powerful? Which one conveys the strongest image of you? Once you've chosen your main image, list down things that support this main image. Build your poem from there."


A Cardboard Box

A uniform cube

It's got corners, not a tube.

Smooth, flat and no lumps;

If it gets wet though, it slumps.

You can put lots of things in it,

Organize stuff with it.

Made of lots of different layers,

There's always a place to labels,

And can be open or closed.

Just don't press on it too hard; it breaks and folds.
