Pssp... We want to tell you something with a certainty... Do you mind if we shout? WE LOVE YOU ALL PENAIKUIANS! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU! The active participation of y'all poets, your encouragement and feedback, your funny humour and your apparent admiration and love for each other, this has always been our vision behind the dream of Penaiku, not just as an app, not just as a platform but as a family that writes and dream together. Enough emotional confessions from the team. Back to business. Guess what, yesterday we thought it would be nice to host a little writing session introducing yourself and one of our team members excitedly coined it the "personality poem". So what's a personality poem? "A personality poem is a creative work that delves into the complexities of an individual's character, emotions, and inner world using the poetic device of imagery and metaphor". Take an extract of this song as an example: And I am whatever you say I am If I wasn't, then why would I say I am? In the paper, the news, every day I am Ha, radio won't even play my jam 'Cause I am whatever you say I am If I wasn't, then why would I say I am? In the paper, the news, every day I am Ha, I don't know, it's just the way I am (Eminem β€” The Way I Am) So, For your writing prompt today, let's write a personality poem using the line "I am whatever you say I am" in the starting of the poem. No word limit. Write as you please! GET THE IDEAS KICKIN'!!! Toodles 🫠 P.s: open Spotify. Listen to the song. P.p.s: what makes a poem interesting? tag your piece with

Hey, this one was especially fun. Sometimes a prompt just sparks that creativity. Thank you! P.P.S.: A poem is interesting if it supercedes the words it uses to evoke something more (i.e. a feeling, memory, contemplation) than the literal reading of the text would imply. In my opinion, anyway. 😊
