I want a kiss.

     A persona poem is a poem that is written in the voice of someone other than yourself. You could write a poem in the voice of your bed, a tree, your desk, or an animal.  A spoon, your pencil, the goldfish in the bowl.  What would your bed say to you?  What would it want someone to know?  If a tree. could write a poem, what would it say?  So, the task for today is to write a persona poem, and to make it easy try this one in free verse.  Remember to use your senses.

     I've been having fun with the person poems.
