Revised Title: Paper Poetry’s Prompt Guideline Sample
Created previously for prompt#2 (timeline: September 14 — September 25, 2020)
The first part / section contains the information for the previous prompt. For the general prompt instruction for all the prompts, please go to the 2nd part of the writing.
As mentioned in our latest digest#2, the following are the details on our upcoming prompt.
Our previous Prompt Champions (Mia Verita and Gloria D. Gonsalves) have selected two themes for the upcoming prompt:
- Prompt theme 1. Scribble Meaning (according to Cambridge Dictionary) (Verb): to write or draw something quickly or carelessly (Noun): a careless piece of writing or drawing
- Prompt theme 2. Stamp/s Meaning (according to Cambridge Dictionary) (Noun): a small piece of paper with a picture or pattern on it that is stuck onto a letter or package before it is posted, to show that the cost of sending it has been paid [only use this theme for the prompt, as there are other meanings, which we are not looking for as the prompt theme]
Prompt Challenge: For the prompt challenge, we ask you to put your handwritten words/notes/journals/doodles/drawn artwork on the above theme/s, based on your convenience. The content/s might be based on your experience, thoughts, reading, imagination (or more), but some or all part of it has to handwritten or drawn. You can submit the content based on either of the prompt or both the prompts in one content at the same time. You also have the option to create separate content to submit work for both the themes.
Timeline: September 14 — September 25, 2020.
Marking your work for the prompt: Your content title might or might not have the word ‘Scribble’ or ‘Stamps’ based on your choice. Please add ‘Paper Poetry Prompt#2’ as the subtitle for more comfortable viewing. Also, tag the following words, ‘Scribble’ or ‘Stamps’ (or both) and ‘PPPPrompt2’ in your content tag. Tagging ‘Paper Poetry’ as a tag is not mandatory.
[Please ignore the first part for any upcoming prompts, as we will have a separate announcement for prompt themes. The following part is a general guideline for all the upcoming prompts.]
For all Prompts: Related guidelines
- Only pieces submitted to Paper Poetry will be considered for the challenge.

- Tagging other writers to take part in the prompt is not required/not mandatory.
- Length of the work Poetry/prose/rhyme: Please try to limit it within 50 lines or 500 words (whichever is highest) Other contents (notes, fiction, journal, stories): Not more than 1200 words.
Champions will be selected after the prompt period. Champions will be highlighted on our created ‘Prompt Champions Board’ tab for the upcoming time. In addition, the champions will choose the next prompt challenge (prompt on ‘phrase’ theme instead of word), where each champion will select a phrase of their choice, and the submitted contents on the next prompt challenge will be based on incorporating the phrases into their work/content.
We are eagerly waiting for the great words and contents to be shared by our amazing ‘wizards of words’ on the themes.
