WRITING PROMPTS

The Daily Special — Dec 30th

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 at least 5 of the following 10 words and write a poem.

mariner windward enslaved vermilion execrate larkspur incandescent lattice tendril harebrained

Poetry Form — Any Line Length — Any Restriction — Use one of your five words in the title of your poem

You may write a 500-word fiction piece using at least five of the ten words. — The same restriction applies to the title.

‘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!
