It All Depends On Your Point Of View Persona Poems March 2004 |
This page was last updated on: May 16, 2004
"A persona poem is a poem written in the first person, in which a writer imagines him/herself to be an animal, an object, or a famous person - anyone or anything she or he is not." We each prepared a 15 line poem, choosing an animal, object, or person for each line, and told why we made those choices. We practiced using a Thesaurus, and found some very grown-up synonyms! We hope you enjoy our interesting and creative perspectives! |
