Second-person address poem exploring intimacy and implication.

21 copies0 forks
Write a poem in second person ("you") to create intimacy and implication.

Who is "you": {{you_identity}}
Relationship of speaker to "you": {{relationship}}
What must be said: {{message}}

Second person creates:
- Intimacy: Reader becomes implicated
- Accusation: "You" is called out
- Self-address: Speaking to oneself
- Universal: Any reader becomes "you"

Draft the poem using "you" throughout.

Consider:
- How directness creates or collapses distance
- Whether "you" is specific or universal
- The power dynamic between speaker and addressed
- Moments where "you" might actually be "I"

Annotate the effect of address choices.
