Welcome to the first Writing Prompt Monday! Each Monday we will post a simple writing prompt to help writers jump start the writing process. Write until you feel you have nothing else to write about. When you are done, send it to us via e-mail (witspdx@gmail.com) or simply reply in the comments section. While it is not necessary to send us what you write, we will feature a selection of the results we receive on Friday. Be sure to include your name.
Writing Prompt: Listen to whatever song is currently your favorite. Close you eyes and really focus on the words and music. Write a piece of prose or poetry in response to the song. Use the name of the band or the name of the song as your title.
Send what you write to: witspdx@gmail.com
“Look at Miss Ohio”
Mild daylight pushes through
Gauzy blue curtains
As I stretch across my couch
Thinking about where I am now, here;
Thinking about what is a thousand miles away
In any direction.
If I could,
I would make a tea
From the ashes of these afternoons.
I would sweeten it with honey,
I would disguise it with milk
And sip slowly.
“Too Good For Words”
and/or.
“Angel Taylor”
Jealousy.
In its purest form.
You want him but he wants her.
Fairly common,
for highschool.
We've all been through it.
Wanting to be wanted
by one specific someone.
It just doesnt work out.
Someday,
each and everyone of us.
Will be his, or hers,
until the end.
What I Got
Lovein is what I've got
While I go to the spot
At 12 on the dot
Sit there and watch my self rot
And root to the spot
I pop the rock
Then drop to the block
Stop the rock
Pop the heart with my love
Because lovein is what I got.
It's Supposed To Be Love/ Abbey Lincoln
Your voice
is a staircase
a marble rolling under the bed
a pint of porter
honeysuckle at the window
