Susan Ludvigson’s “Inventing My Parents”
Using Susan Ludvigson’s “Inventing My Parents” as a model, or “tracing over” it, write a similar poem
characterizing a couple (your parents; your child inventing you and your husband or companion as his or her
as parents; or any other couple you are acquainted with.) Think of the physical and psychological details, as
well as of the sensory details (sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch), body language, voice, attitudes, etc., that
would portray the two characters and their interactions.
