So tell us, what inspired you to write this poem this week? I mean, there's so many options, I guess.

You know, I was thinking about how I got to this in my mind, and I was thinking back that my mind got prompted about this with the persona poem prompt at the beginning of the month, and the narrator that I wrote for that poem is really the same, or the character is exactly the same for that poem as it is for this poem.

And then the two prompts since then, I wrote persona poems.

They were little short sonnets, but different characters.

But then even my ekphrastic poem that I submitted just a couple days ago was a persona poem.

So I've kind of got persona poem in my mind.

I've got that one character going there.

Why don't you go ahead and read it, Casey?
