Hope everyone has had a great week so far and is looking forward to the weekend. What better way to start it off than with brand new prompts! If you've been feeling stuck, or maybe just want to do something a little different, maybe one of these prompts will jumpstart a new idea. Don't forget, if under 1,000 words, prompt responses that are posted in GA Stories must be posted as part of a collection.

Prompt 376 – Creative
Tag – First Line
“But I never said that!”

Prompt 377 – Creative
Tag – Mirror on the Wall
It was a long day at work and you just want to go home. Walking through the busy streets hail begins to fall, sized like a golf ball. Deciding to duck into a store rather than get hurt by the hail, you dive into the first doorway you see. It is only once you are inside that you read the large banner across the back wall. “The mirror on the wall can do so much more than tell you who is fairest of all.” You shake your head in disbelief as you see mirrors in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Before you can duck out you find yourself being guided to the back of the store by large imposing man. What happens in the store?

This week we also have the next Poetry Prompt to share!

Poetry Prompt #4

Write four equal lines of poetry, in regular meter, about preparing your favorite food. They need not rhyme.

The finished poem should have an identifiable rhythm. Each line should have the same number of syllables. In other words, have a meter: such as tetrameter, pentameter, or hexameter; and pick a foot that you find easy to work with, either from this discussion or from the Wikipedia site. For more information on this poetry prompt, visit the thread!

This week I decided to feature a couple of the previous Poetry Prompt Responses, one set by AC Benus and the other by Percy:

This dawn I let me sleep my full
And found a dream reward –
A place within the living day
Where recall too can breathe.

 

How wonderful to dream like this
And present meld with past –
That wakes and carries what I've seen
Diffuse in me all day.

Two Trains of Morning Thought

 

Snowshoe paws land upon my chest
Morning's hard awakening
Go away, Cat; it's the weekend
Pussy purring patiently

 

Waterdog Trail Loop calls my name
Stretch limbs for pounding ride
Bike's been sitting on the trainer
But pumped and lubed, I'll glide
