| 105 words, 27 Lines For "PromptMaster !" Task Prompt: Write a poem where you’re mad at irony because you don’t understand it. It's crazy. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I'm confused. He said I was the one we got officially engaged a big party ... happiness down on his knees with a rose. Wedding outfit, wedding hall booked. Honeymoon cottage booked Pre-wedding traditional dances planned "Which flavour of ice-cream shall we serve?" Then kaput. Engagement broken for no apparent reason. Sixteen years go by I hear he has passed away Had a brain tumour. Ironic, isn't it? My plight would've been a lot worse He spared me by ditching me The thing is, irony Now I don't know whether to cry or laugh.   |

What does it mean, the freedom to write? Does it mean the mind is free The heart has no cares The soul yearns to share? What does it mean, the freedom to write? Does it mean there is no censorship Nobody banning books No authors imprisoned for their words? What does it mean, the freedom to write? Does it mean a private space, Some time to yourself, to ponder and pen Does it mean your family respecting your silence? What does it mean, the freedom to write? Does it mean all this, and more? Writers can move mountains, change history Writers are powerful, whether bound or free ... What does it mean, the freedom to write? It should include the freedom to read To understand to empathize, to reach out The freedom to be human, with other human beings.

| 120 WORDS 12 LINES For "PromptMaster !" English has seven coordinating conjunctions—for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so I want to but I mustn't but I should but I can't Have a surprise party for the nephew of my aunt! Because my aunt and my uncle and my Mom and my Dad Will attend the party, but will they be glad? Neither my grandma nor my grandpa nor my sister nor my brother Will carpool, cause they live so far from each other A gift for the nephew, for the birthday boy, for his pleasure Will mean thinking up something like a tribal treasure Get this or that or something or everything or nothing The guests in a dilemma - what should they bring? So I thin I'll let this party idea go Before I'm called a so-and-so! |
| 18 LINES 91 WORDS The most pretentious thing to say aloud in a dramatic thunderstorm. For "PromptMaster !" I'm gonna make Zeus Look like Dr. Seuss I'm gonna treat Thor Like an apple core As for Lei Gong I'll put him in my song. I'm singing in the rain Let the thunder Gods raise Cain I don't have a care If lightning strikes here and there As for the thunder It doesn't tear me asunder What's all that noise? Giants, playing with toys? I'm not gonna lose my poise Because of little girls and boys! Let it rain, let it pour I'll drown out the thunder with my snore! |

Love is what you deserve Oh let me hold you, cuddle you Nothing will part us once you are here Embrace my mind, heart, body and soul Let me take your troubles, take your pain I can bear it all, just to be with you Nestling cozily in our little cottage, we'll Enter Paradise together, if only you were here Sometimes missing you becomes so hard Sometimes I wish I'd known what you meant to me |
| Words: 242 LINES - 36 For "PromptMaster !" The thing that started the rumor Was his lack of a sense of humor. All she said was 'marriage might be nice' and he turned cold as ice. She was just sort of supposing But he thought she was proposing! In his cousin he did confide He didn't want to make her his bride! But he'd chosen the wrong confidant Because the guy did make a chant "Mridul and Sapna sitting on a tree K - I - S - S - I - N - G" Soon, the whole campus knew Mridul and Sapna, could it be true? "We saw him at the jeweler Must've been choosing a ring for her" "Was he with her at the rock concert? She was at Park Avenue, buying a shirt. Must've been a gift for her groom." (Who thought this was the bell of doom!) So the whispers reached his parents Who at once summoned their heir apparent. "What's this we hear of you and a girl? Are you giving romance a whirl?" "There's nothing ..." he started to say But they didn't listen anyway. "We've fixed a meeting with her Mom and Dad Oh, son, we are so glad." Mom, Dad, Daughter came to dinner And by midnight, everyone was a winner. Mridul thought Sapna was really great She'd make him a jolly good mate. Sapna, to tell the truth, Got quite fond of the tongue-tied youth. So, though the rumor couldn't be dafter It ended in Happily Ever After! |
| Words: 216 for "The Elevator Pitch" Prompt ▼ "Right then," Monika said, putting her notebook and pencil away. "You say that the wider the eye-holes, the more difficult it is to navigate ..." Before Prakash could protest - 'No, I said the NARROWER ..." Monika had climbed on her motorcycle and was gone. These journalists! It was Prakash's first interview ever, and he was going to be quoted incorrectly! "Wide eyeholes make navigation tough" the headlines would scream, and he'd be the laughing stock of all the chipmunks in Chip Monkey Park. He might never, ever get an acting job again. The theme park, (Chipmunks, Monkeys and other furry critters) was hosting a treasure hunt for all theme park mascots and Monika was doing the story. Each team would be led by a Pied Piper playing a harmonica. The Head Chip Monkey thought it would be a good idea - attendance had been low lately and the publicity would help. The headlines got it wrong in two ways. Not only were the eyeholes mentioned incorrectly, the Pied Pipers were said to be playing flutes, not harmonicas. Head Chip Monkey was furious. Monika treated Prakash to chocolate ice cream to apologize. And as we know, a lot can happen over chocolate ice-cream, especially when topped with a sweet "I'm so sorry". All the mascots attended the wedding, playing harmonicas. |
| "Note:
48-HOUR CHALLENGE : Media Prompt
Deadl..." I guess what a fighter pilot means when he says 'I ain't worried' is that this is not the time to worry. In high pressure situations, you might do some worrying before, but when you're there, faced with it, especially if you're a high level professional, you buckle down and do what needs to be done step by step. This is where your training and the hours of learning and experiencing you put in stand you in good stead. Anyone in a high pressure, high level job would relate to this. I guess there is just so much a human being can take, so after supposedly 'not worrying' for this many years, they probably need to retire or they'll burn out emotionally. A shoutout to the families who go through things behind the scenes. I couldn't really understand the lyrics of the song, but I suppose that's what they're saying! Clips from Top Gun brought back memories of watching it in the theatre with college friends, years ago, I guess when it was first released. I didn't usaully watch action movies, comedy and musicals were more my genre, so this one stands out. Also, going for a movie was a big deal in those days. |
| Task #10 Favourite Holiday Movies Starting with something I enjoy watching, though it isn't a movie and isn't counted as one of the ten. It's actually a commercial!  MOVIES 1. The Santa Suit I really like the concept of him becoming Santa Claus. The transformation of the character is very well done. He has never seen things from anyone else's perspective before, now he's forced to and he understands stuff he didn't before. I've actually watched this one a few times, which is saying a lot since I don't usually take to movies easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3LCVhlQRBU 2. The Santa Squad Because of the various relationships that get sorted out - father-daughters, elderly couple. 3. Saving Santaland Shows how misunderstanding and hurt can be overcome. 4. Since it has 'Holiday' in the title - "ROMAN HOLIDAY" - I'd watched it in childhood with my parents, on screen, and loved it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vm2FdHg7Io&t=31s 5. Home Alone I'm not much of a movie buff and this task is a bit difficult for me. Since I have to name 10, I'm putting this on the list because I did enjoy it when I saw it. It shows what a kid can do if he puts his mind to it! However, hearing what happened to Macaulay Culkin later on, it now affects my viewing of this movie. 6. A Christmas Carol I like the classic Dickens story, hence this one features on the list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd31WpkEi_8 And the animated version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD3kFnyIkxw 7. The Night They Saved Christmas Human beings do a lot to destroy the Earth's most precious resources. I think the idea of human activity potentially destroying the North Pole is a great way to get the extent of the damage into children's minds and hearts. I also love the idea of Santa not giving a child a violent toy like a gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThflrTHiMKo 8. Frosty The Snowman A short animation film, full of fun and song and some witty dialogues like 'us evil magicians need to make a living too'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSkyv8EUEsU 9. How The Grinch Stole Christmas Not exactly a movie, but a read-aloud of a favourite Dr Seuss story. The message of Christmas in typical Seuss style (Are his shoes too small, or his heart??) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUchF0dSY_U 10. Enchanting Christmas I like the relationship between father and daughter, and I like what the teacher says about 'belief'. I love the line: "Warm like hot chocolate, but in my heart instead of in my stomach." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQM6ncbBNBo 11.Tails of Christmas Discovered this one - cute dogs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReJox8F4VC8 |
