Our poem today is another by Lucille Clifton:  Read through the poem 3-4 times (preferably out loud).  What feeling/tone do you get from the poem?  What is it about?  What poetic elements do you notice happening in this poem?  Annotate and make sense of this poem. For today's prompts: write a poem about wishes you have for someone different than yourself. From    Winter Tangerine : "What does the candle of you smell like?" From  Writer's Digest:  " For today’s prompt, write a change poem. This could be a poem about something that has changed or something that will change. Changing tires, clothes, or perspectives. Change left over when paying for something with cash. Feel encouraged to change it up today. Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt."  Enjoy your Sunday and I'll see
