Well, Billy Collins wrote his poem, "Dear Reader," with the reader clearly in mind. In fact, the whole poem addresses the reader directly:
You could be someone I pass on the street
or an indistinct face
behind the wheel of an approaching car,
sunlight flashing off the windshield.
You can read the entire poem here.
So your challenge is to write a poem addressing your reader, or readers. Confront them, confess to them, plead with them, argue with them - but address the readers. Good luck!
