Day 15: You Are My Sun

2019-04-15 By • Filed Under: 30 Days 30 Poems Challenge, Creative Writing Exercises, Earth as Metaphor, Love for Others, Poetry Prompt

Today’s writing prompt is based on the poem Papa is the sky

Write a poem about your family, a group of friends, your co-workers, or even parts of your own self and roles that assigns some kind of natural phenomenon to each.

In today’s poem, five-year-old Zoya very simply says that Papa is the sky, Mama is the air, and so on.

Make your poem as simple as Zoya’s, using hers as a template. Or, get more complex and put your metaphor in a form poem like the ghazal (instructions here) or the sonnet (instructions here).
