Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 727

For this week’s prompt, write an appraisal poem. Of course, people are used to concepts such as home appraisals and appraising jewelry. However, the poem could be a self-appraisal, or appraise something or someone else. For instance, one could appraise their breakfast or dinner.

Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

i should appraise less
