We've occasionally done "first line" writing prompts, in which we give you a starting line, and ask you to finish the story or poem. This time, however, we're going to do it backwards, by giving you the last line.Write a poem or story that ends with this line: And so that's why I'm wearing a sock on my head. Note that we've provided a line in anapestic tetrameter, in case you want to write a poem.
