torn scraps of paper

dead flies in coffee




Yawn! writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Due to lack of support, I'm tired of sponsoring contests that require any form of poetic imagination, so how about this one:

Please write three lines, with a total of seventeen syllables, in 5-7-5 form. No corny gags obtained from the internet, please.

The theme is, 'lack of poetic imagination', with NO DIRECT reference to a 'muse' or writer's block.

No punctuation, except for abbreviations or proper nouns.

No artwork or sound effects.

No 'author notes'.

'Description' above title must read, 'contest entry', only.

Two colour presentation only - one for type and one for background.

Use 'basic fanstory editor', only - that's the one that applies automatically when you post.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
