Using today’s poem, “Protocol for Wings” as your inspiration, write a poem that provides tips, advice, and/or instructions for doing something. If the thing you are providing directions for cannot actually be done (at least by you), is something no one would actually want to do, or has no definitive manner in which to do it, so much the better. Some examples to help you out: sleeping like a cat, making a love potion, killing the monster in the closet, flying, forgiving your parents, hoarding, throwing a birthday party for a child, or taking a test to get certified as a hit man/woman.
