What I chose to wrote was more of a comparison between one of my favorite book characters and myself, sort of a twist on the writing prompt.
Self Portrait as Pippi Longstocking
She has my grandma's red hair
I don’t. Mine is mousy brown,
Sometimes I wear braids.
Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint
Efraim's Daughter
Longstocking
Pippi for short.
That’s my name too.
Her father is a pirate captain,
Mine, the strongest man in the world.
We both have freckles,
Ugh! freckles!
I’ve never been to the South Seas,
But like to go to Rockaway Beach
I build some beautiful sand castles,
Marvelous, really
I think Pippi Longstocking would approve.
