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.

A Life-Saving Poem

You're hiking in the woods one day when you're captured by a group of gnomes. They take you back to their underground city where you meet the king of the gnomes. He says "I will release you only if you write me a poem about how great I am. Otherwise you will remain here forever."

You must write this poem to save your life. How does it go? Being subversive is acceptable.
