Today’s prompt created by poet Sage Cohen.
Personify Something and Invite it to Surprise You
Choose an object, any object. Don’t think too much about it. Just take what comes. Write it down.
Now quickly, off the top of your head, write down answers to these questions.
The object I chose – A Mug
————————————
This old mug wears no shoes.Eats coffee for breakfastlives in a two by four room
without any windows
It’s friends are fine
fragile things
who sing too loud
in public places
drink to excess
&
when its dark and lonely
any old mouth will do
my mug believes
in reincarnation
listens to new age music
loves the
touch
taste
smell
of something warm
on cold winter mornings
in other words
this old mug
is a lot
like
me
