Inspired by this Native Vermont image discovered while poking about on Pinterest, take inspiration from a food chain. Take inspiration from the “>”mathematical sign, from the chain of dominance in games such as rock-paper-scissors. Now, write a poem!
Example:
Rock Paper Scissors
Rock is greater than scissors,
Crushing is greater than slicing,
Stoic stone crumbles the sharp
Metal beaks of plastic cranes
Scissors are greater than paper,
Slicing is greater than folding,
Sharp metal beaks chew through
The crumpled skin of a dry lotus
Paper is greater than rock,
Folding is greater than crushing,
Long petals stretch their crumpled
Flesh over the face of stoic stone
-Constance
