WRITING PROMPTS
The Daily Special — Dec 11th
Poetry Prompt
Welcome to the month of December, PW writers and readers! Things are going to be a bit different around here this month. Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sun will all be fiction! Tues, Thurs, and Sat will all be poetry! There will be a Weekly Special posted every Monday, but there will not be a Weekend Challenge this month. What is going to make December fun is that you may use fiction prompts to write poetry and poetry prompts to write fiction! Or, use the prompts as is. Let’s get on with the prompting, shall we?
Today’s Poetry prompt
Choose 5 of the following 10 words and write a poem. You may use any tense of the verb and any form of the word.
mail
read
stem
prey
grain
act
month
oh
divide
notice
You may write a 100-word fictional story using 5 of those words.
Poetry Form — any
Line Length — any
Restrictions — Use one of the words in the title of your poem/story.
‘Restrictions’ are to challenge you as a writer. However, with everything else here at PW, use these prompts in any way that allows the creative juices to flow.
Write promptly and enjoy! And don’t forget about the Monthly Theme!
