Beauty is a Beast that Roars

Inspired by: “Clara Bow”

This prompt takes three steps to get fully underway.

Step 1. First, pick an animal (there’s a list below if you want some ideas)

Step 2. Next, pick an abstraction (there’s an abstraction list below for inspiration)

Step 3. Now, give your abstraction the qualities of the animal you chose…and describe it.

Optional: start with the phrase, “You look like,” include weather or a time of day, and include a colloquialism (such as: “Them’s the breaks”)
