Get a Writing Prompt
For a decade, Fifteen Minutes of Fiction had a weekly writing prompt. Some of these are specific to certain times of year, or specific holidays. They are presented here in no particular order; click the "Get Another" link to see another randomly selected prompt.Limericks!
Limericks are a lot of fun. This form of poetry is generally used for light-hearted, often completely nonsense subject matter.A limerick is five lines of anapestic poetry (though line 1 often opens with an iamb) - lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme with each other and contain between 7 and 10 syllables - and lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other and contain 5-7 syllables. Limericks often tell a story: line 1 will introduce the main character, line 2 will describe what they do, and the remaining lines detail the results (sometimes wacky) of what the person/animal/thing does. Give it a try! A FMoF example can be found here: Carpentry Skills
