Every Day Poems Prompt: People Like Us
Share your people like us poems with an encouraging community!
They’re here for people like us —
those two-foot metal origami birds
strung on wires that zag the hospital’s
atrium sky from floors 2 to 6
blue green red yellow
like some primary color zoo meant
to calm the tantrum we cannot have…
In her poem “Atrium,” Tania Pryputniewicz considers the made-environment for “people like us.”
Come write your own poem that considers a made-environment that’s seeking to do something for or to people like you. It can be a positive made-environment, or it can be an unexpectedly fraught one, as in Tania’s poem.
Just drop your poem into the comment box beneath the Tania’s poem. We can’t wait to read!
