Every Morning

2019-04-18 By • Filed Under: 30 Days 30 Poems Challenge, Agriculture, Creative Writing Exercises, Poetry Prompt

Today’s writing prompt is based on the poem Li Po

In “Li Po,” the poem looks back in history to a poet who sometimes wrote about tea. It then pairs the narrator of the poem with Li Po, saying “every morning I am Li Po.”

Humankind has a long history with agriculture or the harvesting of wild edibles. Choose a historical or modern-day figure involved with agriculture or the harvesting of wild edibles. In your poem, compare yourself to this figure. If you like, use the words, “Every morning I am [name of figure]…” in the poem.

Here are a few figures you might want to consider:

Steve Brill
Jimmy Carter
Cesar Chavez
Catherine Hagel
Bill Mollison
Severine Von Tscharner Fleming, founder of Greenhorns
George Washington
Karen Washington
