| Words: 172 Lines: 32 "PromptMaster !" Task Prompt: Use hyperbole to write a poem about a minor inconvenience. Make it an epic struggle worthy of legend. "Stay balanced," The Buddha preached "Keep to the middle road." I thought of this advice as I carried my heavy load. All eyes were on me I could feel each stare "I'm in the spotlight and so harsh is its glare." My burden, on my tiny hand Did weigh me down But on my face I kept a smile I would neither cry nor frown. The thin line I trod One foot in front of the other Disaster awaited a tremble or the slightest shake or shudder. Collectively they held their breath My own breathing was rapid What if I were to trip and fall? What if my foot slipped? The goal was coming into view A few short steps to go now "Don't waver, don't stop, You can achieve this, and how!" Finally — I was there I closed my eyes in relief A million conflicting emotions Of which gratitude was chief. Now all can applaud, can cheer "Hip Hip Hurray! You carried a full plate to your table, from the buffet!" |
| "PromptMaster !" 20 LINES Words: 95 My dearest Ken, You know I love you so Your writing makes me tingle From head to little toe. You jokes make me chuckle Your kindness makes me glow My heart is truly pierced By Cupid's great arrow. I love the way you look And I love your smile For one word from your lips I'd run the proverbial mile May I please meet you Tomorrow, at the cafe? I'd make it sooner but I'm dating Robert today. So tomorrow, over ice creams Chocolate and vanilla I'll profess to you that You're my only fella! |
| 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.   |

| 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! |
| 10 LINES 89 WORDS For "PromptMaster !" 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. |
