current prompt: Prompt For Autonomy

 

Write a soliloquy, testimony, rant from the point of view of someone
who was forced to carry a pregnancy that they did not wish to keep.
These can be based on true stories or not.
They can be set in the present moment or not.
They can be set in America or not.
The only ingredients:
The soliloquy should contain at least one color, one place name,
and one true thing a person who you know has once said.
Start with the word “I” and keep on going…

Prompt For The Planet (now closed)

“Think of one element and speak in its voice through pictures and words.   
What would the fires raging in California say to the world?
What would the wind from Hurricane Maria demolishing Puerto Rico sound like?
What does freshly fallen rain on a state in drought feel and taste like through poetry? Love? Relief? Think of it as creating an open letter from the planet.”

From Amanda Gorman
