Today’s (optional) prompt is a “replacement” poem. Pick a common noun for a physical thing, for example, “desk” or “hat” or “bear,” and then pick one for something intangible, like “love” or “memories” or “aspiration.” Then Google your tangible noun, and find some sentences using it. Now, replace that tangible noun in those sentences with your intangible noun, and use those sentences to create (or inspire) a poem.
How to Eat Confidence
Confidence is a variety of a species
cultivated as a food.
The budding confidence flower-head
is made of many small budding flowers.
Confidence has bold foliage
and large purple flower heads.
It is believed to be a native of
the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands
I can imagine, that if you didn’t grow up
eating confidence
and if you were encountering them
for the first time,
they might seem a little intimidating.
How one cooks and eats coinfidence
is not obvious from its appearance.
When you are at the market buying confidence,
choose those in which the petals
are still rather closed, not open.
They will be fresher and more tender
than confidences where the petals
have opened.
Also, confidences that have been "frost kissed"
are especially tender and delicious.
They'll look a little burned,
so won't be as pretty.
If the confidences have little thorns
on the end of the leaves,
take a kitchen scissors
and cut of the thorned tips
of all of the leaves.
This step is mostly for aesthetics.
The thorns soften with cooking
and pose no threat
to the person eating the confidence.
