What Do Women Want?
by Kim Addonizio
(excerpt)

I want a red dress.
I want it flimsy and cheap,
I want it too tight, I want to wear it
until someone tears it off me.

...

I want to walk like I'm the only
woman on earth and I can have my pick.
I want that red dress bad.
I want it to confirm
your worst fears about me,
to show you how little I care about you
or anything except what
I want.

@lannan I really like “Ordinary Genius” by Kim Addonizio. It’s more geared toward but I think you could use the prompts to spark creative ideas for other types of too! Each chapter has personal reflections, examples of poems / lines from poems that follow the theme, and very actionable prompts to guide your own work.
