Poetry Prompt Day Five: Writing a List Poem

One of my favourite ways to write poems is to do what is called a list poem.  This is where you take a phrase and use it at the beginning of every line.  My choice of phrase is 'I am a woman who'.  Obviously, for the guys, you can use 'I am a man who'.  Don't feel you have to stick within the bonds of reality or tell the truth.  You can say 'I am a woman who rides unicorns everyday' if you want to.  And if you don't like the phrase I've chosen then feel free to pick a different one.  Here is my effort.


I am a woman who has a talent for locking herself in toilets.
I am a woman who hates letting people down.
I am a woman who rarely remembers her dreams.
I am a woman who likes listening to rock music.
I am a woman who loves the smell of the ocean.
I am a woman who works magic.
I am a woman who likes to wear green.
I am a woman who likes cats but loves dogs.
I am a woman who doesn't bake cakes.
I am a woman.

Share your poetry with us by linking up. Make sure you visit your neighbors one or two before and after. If you are last on the list go back to the beginning of the list. Have fun!
