NaPoWriMo Day 18! Substack Version

Prompt: Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem in which the speaker expresses the desire to be someone or something else, and explains why. Two possible models for you: Natasha Rao’s “In My Next Life I’ll Be a Tomato” poetryfoundation.org/poems/160707/in-my… and Randall Jarrell’s “The Woman at the Washington Zoo” poetryfoundation.org/poems/48391/the-wo…

And remember, if it works for you, come back here to this Note to share your poem, your process, your thoughts. Or a link taking us there.

Happy Writing, Everyone!
