Daily Prompt 6: Three Things #1
For today's piece, write a poem or piece of prose which includes the following 3 things: An Elephant, A Cardboard Box and A Scarf.
You can use these things in any way that you'd like, but try to make them at least kinda important to the piece and not just used in a throwaway fashion like seeing a picture of an elephant wearing a scarf standing in a cardboard box and thinking, that's weird, then going on a completely unrelated adventure.
Daily Prompt 5: Fallen from a Tree
For today's piece, write a poem or piece of prose which revolves around something falling out of a tree. This could be the narrator/a character, it could be a branch or 'widow maker' limb, fruit (ala Isaac Newton's apple maybe?) a poorly constructed treehouse, a crashed ultralight airplane (or drone or kite or stuck football/frisbee). Remember to include some sort of insight/observation/point.
Daily Prompt 4: Late for work
For today's piece, write a poem or piece of prose which uses the narrative of the speaker/main character being late for work. Be sure to give the lateness some gravitas (are they worried they'll be fired, lose a promotion, are they opening a restaurant/store by themselves? Lots of options for making it more than just a 'sorry I'm late' 'no problem' interaction). You can make it as much focused on the person being late for work as you want, perhaps what happens while they're rushing to get ready, or to drive/bike/transit to their job that is what is interesting. Decide before you start writing if you want the 'takeaway' or 'point' to be positive or negative.
