There's a steep and private staircase
That will take you up to my place
Narrow stairs with wooden floors
There behind the old French doors
I will throw you down the key
If you want to visit me
But this staircase will deter
The intrepid visitor
That's the one who will not climb
Up these narrow stairs of mine!

| Writing Prompt |
Write a description or scene, in prose or poem about a staircase.
*Use the ordinariness of the subject to really push the genre. Maybe it's a fantasy staircase that transports one between worlds, or a gothic staircase descending into the depths of a castle, or a gritty urban fire escape, etc. Variations like stairs, steps, or ladders are fine.
*A story isn't necessary. Focus on description of the stairs and its setting, or a scene playing out on them.
*100-500 words recommended for prose. No restrictions for poetry. |
