Who's ready for a couple of new prompts? Can't believe it's already the end of January. This month has just flown by it seems like. Remember, if your prompt response is less than 1,000 words, it can be posted in GA Stories as long as it's part of a collection. Now, let's see what comicfan has for you this week.

 

Prompt 476 – Creative
Tag – First Line
“Quick, call an ambulance!”

 

Prompt 477 – Creative
Tag – Sleeper
Things had never been perfect for you growing up. Your parents always were attentive, but somehow never seemed to be there either. Unfortunately, as you were about to graduate from college you found out why. Your parents were sleeper agents and have now been activated. What sort of agents are they and what will their activation mean for you and your future?

 

We didn't have any takers for last week's prompts, but here's a poetry prompt #17 response from Mikiesboy:

 

And To Sleep, My Son
Oh my little boy with your cheeks of cherry red
I’m tired, don’t you know, please lay down your head
You need to have your rest, and your papa does so too
Miles you’ve run today, and I was chasing you

 

Let the sandman do his job and sleep my perfect son
We fought monsters and knights, and we always won
But the battles are all over and it’s time to go to sleep
I’ll kiss you once again, but from you – not a peep

 

Read the rest, here.

Wow, this is a terrific surprise. Thank you for sharing it here.

 

This was one for the Childhood Verse prompt. From the prompts that AC Benus does each month. 

 

Poetry is a great way to express yourself and using the prompts, making yourself fit your thoughts and ideas into the confines and rules of each form of poetry is a challenge and helps develop you as writer, in my opinion anyway.

 

But that said, people should realize they don't need to understand meter or a poetic 'feet' to enjoy reading it. Just read it... sometimes more than once and let yourself absorb and feel it. 

 

Thanks again for sharing this here. I love to see poetry, not just mine, out where it can viewed by a larger audience.

Actually, JAR did his usual Meta prompt chapter for prompt 474 but he forgot to list it in the topic and I forgot to remind him. :facepalm:

Well, since I have AC and Kitt to help me with my commas, I'll refer Emi to them.

AC has the patience of Saint, I'm surprised he hasn't beaten me to death with a comma!

LOL, I know exactly what you mean. I cannot begin to count the commas, semicolons and full stops he's corrected in my stories.
