The Daily Special — Oct 5th

Poetry and Fiction prompts

It’s time to shake things up a bit! Are you ready?

Today’s Poetry prompt

Choose any 5 of the 10 words below to write a poem. Or if you really want to make this challenging, use all 10! For verbs, you may use any tense.

foreign disable calla lily hostel dire glaze travel cloak insure yellow

Restriction — no more than 5 lines! Could be a haiku, tanka, micropoem or a creatively crafted prose poem… hmmm, sounds delicious!

Today’s Fiction prompt

There is something unusual under your bed. Write a story about it.

Restriction — 100 words exactly (Centina)!

These ‘restrictions’ are to challenge you as a writer. However, with everything else here at PW, use these prompts in any other way you see fit. We aren’t the writing police around here!

Hey! Give me back my truncheon! It’s only part of my Halloween costume!

Ahem… don’t mind me. Carry on dear writers.

Write promptly and enjoy! And don’t forget about the Monthly Theme!
