Consider character traits and habits you have inherited, genetic or modeled. As you do so, make two lists. One for “positive traits and habits” you have inherited and feel grateful for having, the second for “negative traits and habits” that you could live without. These lists will be the basis for a poem that explores both positive and negative personality traits and habits.
When composing your poems, consider addressing family members by name or relationship who exhibit these traits or habits and passed them on to you; let them know how you feel about inheriting said traits.
You can use such verbiage as “You are responsible” or “I hold you accountable for” for the traits you could live without and “I am thankful/grateful for” for the traits you’re rather glad you have.
As an extra challenge, include and explore at least one trait for which you are both dismayed and glad to have.
