Self-Portrait

DAY 23 OF 30  | PROMPT BY ERICA ABBOTT

Take on the personality of an object, person, or emotion and use words/phrases/images related to your pick to create a "self-portrait as" poem. Create a universe as it relates to yourself in this reflective piece.

For some examples, take a look at "Self-Portrait as a Door" by Donika Kelly, "Self-Portrait as Artemis" by Tarfia Faizullah, and "Self-Portrait on the Street of An Unnamed Foreign City" by Jennifer Grotz. (See below)
