I hate this and also statements of purpose and also "describe your process." My process is I arrange & rearrange the marks on the page until I stop feeling restless. My purpose is to make poems about the entire world or at least try until I die.
I'm not sure if this will help, but what if you imagine writing a précis instead of a synopsis. Yesterday I heard someone use that word, I think it was @benjlmorgan.bsky.social, and I thought it sounded dignified, not at all prosaic like a synopsis.
