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.Funny Poem
After last week's elegy topic, it might be nice to lighten things up a bit. While poetry has a long history of use for laments, unrequited love, and other sad topics, it has also long been used for humor. Humorous poems sometimes use forms like the limerick, but often they are just short and punchy. A lot of children's poetry also aims for humor, such as the work of Shel Silverstein (which is of course good for any age!).Write a humorous poem, either in limerick form, some other form, or free verse. You could poke fun at a situation or story, parody something, use puns or word play, or anything else you want (as long as it's clean).
