Day 5 Prompt: Sharp
Possibilities:
When I first think of something sharp, pain comes to mind but then I think of an A sharp or a B sharp. Of course there are sharp turns, sharp angles and "He's looking sharp." and let's not forget, sharp as a tack and look sharp.
Free write for ten minutes on any of the above. Where does the word sharp take you?
Are you feeling a little adventurous? How about writing a Blitz Poem?
Word Prompts:
prickly
barbed
peaked
acute
keen
Music for your Muse:
This is one of my favorites to dance to and connect with my Muse.
Remember, our prompts are only suggestions, where you find inspiration for your poetry is up to you.

ReplyDeleteI used ALL the prompt words in today's poem at Nickers and Ink. I changed KEEN to KEENING. I left out SHARP, but it's sort of implied by the BARBED TEETH.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prompt!
