Welcome to Day 14 of my personal month-late NaPoWriMo challenge. You can check out my previous post here, or click here for Day 1.
I got a haircut and went clothes shopping today, so as a result I’ve got body image on my mind. I think it’s important to reflect on that every so often–not just on how healthy our bodies are physically and how well we’re caring for them, but also on how we feel about our bodies. Poetry’s a great way to do that.
Prompt 14: Body Image
Write a poem related to body image. Some questions to get you started:
- What’s a difficult memory for you when it comes to your body and how you perceive it?
- Sometimes other people are really nosy about our bodies. Has anyone ever made a comment to you about your appearance that really set you off?
- What is clothes shopping like for you with your body type? Do you imagine it’s much easier or harder for someone with a very different body type?
- How’s your relationship with food? With exercise? Why do you have that relationship with it?
If you try this, or any of the prompts I’m sharing throughout this month, let me know! If you try a prompt on your blog, share the link! I’ll check it out.
I also love to read any thoughts or writing tips you may have. Feel free to share them in the comments!
