Poetry Challenge #116-Prompt Time

Contrary to popular believe, there is a sure fire cure for writer’s Brain Freeze. At first you might baulk. Complain. Resist ala Baby in Dirty Dancing. But it works . . .

Prompt Time

Writing from a prompt pushes you to write fast and helps you free your mind. Get your notebook or computer ready and set your timer. Below is a one-line prompt. You can use the prompt as your first line, your last line, or a line in the middle. Read it and then write as fast as you can. Ready:

No one tells me what to do…

Set your timer for 7 minutes

Don’t think about it too much; just do it!

Start writing!

Cindy Faughnan and I began this 7-Minute Poetry Challenge over 1300 days ago. We now take turns creating our own prompts to share with you. (This one is Cindy’s.) If you join us in the 7-Minute Poetry Challenge, let us know by posting the title, a note, or if you want, the whole poem in the comments.
