Hold it in, like medicine...
Write anything inspired by the prompt. Love the line and the rhyme and the matching syllables. I can't figure out where to go with it, so put me out of my misery and create some badassery.

Masculinist
Ok, that's not a word...yet. It's catching quick though, since right now. Try your hand at writing about what makes a man a man.
Ladies, don't be too harsh on us. Lol.

DAMN YOU WRITERS BLOCK!!!
Create a prose based on the following concept: (intended conceptually, not literally)
Writers block shows up rather regularly, interrupts us, is painful, irritating and often causes headaches. Occasionally indigestion. Playing off the common phrase "aunt flow," (menstruation), one could compare aunt flow (menstruation) and writers block (anti-flow). You can use this play on words and concept to fuel a rant, a comparison, whatever you please. But I think we all agree writers block is a vile creature that must be executed without mercy. May the rage commence!

"At the Bottom of Everything"
Listen to "At the Bottom of Everything" by the band Bright Eyes and write as inspired. A heads up, it's quite an unusual sound, but lyrically will astound.

In The Head of Letters
Create a work through the perspective of letters or words. Explore what the world is like through their eyes and try to imagine what they think or feel.
Be sure to tag yenstory in the comments of your posts, as they are the creator of the concept.

Write a deconstruction style poem. Example would be if a girl were to cross the street to get ice cream, you could see danger in the street crossing, innocence, destructiveness of the treat but the craving of the unhealthy, etc. I wrote one on drinking water for another example.
