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.

Spring Tanka

We've done many haiku writing prompts already. A "tanka" is similar to a haiku -- in fact, it includes a haiku (3 lines -- 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables), but includes two additional lines at the end with 7 syllables in each.

Write a tanka poem that has something to do with spring (or with looking forward to its appearance).
