do you remember playing make believe when you were a child?
dressing up as a princess or a cowboy?
building a fort in the livingroom?
turning an empty box into a space ship?
it's a shame we
can't continue playing when we become adults.
this week's prompt is really all up to you ~ let's write about fantasy. it can by a personal fantasy of yours or a fairy tale or even science fiction, as long as it is fantastical. { i know that's probably not a real word, but you get the idea, right? }
here are a few suggestions, but please feel free to go wherever the prompt leads you ~
write a tale of fantasy or science fiction
write a fairy tale
write about something that could not possibly happen in real life
write about when you played make believe as a child
write about a personal fantasy you have {no porn please}
Please write a new poem for this prompt; link it in with Mr. Linky; leave us a comment below; visit as many other participants as you can { and please leave them a comment, too! }
thank you for jamming with us!

Thanks, Dani, for the good prompt! I've posted my poem, and I look forward to seeing what other poets write!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Quite timely, as I think this challenge worked quite well with my poem. :)
ReplyDelete... I'm still playing make believe some days!!!
ReplyDeletesmiles.....had fun with this one...and allowed me to return to a place i wrote from several times in my past....my old neighborhood...
ReplyDeleteEven as adults, we still ought to make believe. Some call it dreams others, hope... it's what keeps us going, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteGreat prompt Dani, thanks :)
Thanks you for the prompt. I wrote one similar a few days ago, so i changed the perspective for this poem. I hope it works. Cheers Alan
ReplyDeleteTrying to re-live your nostalgies through this? Very inventive.
ReplyDeleteI must thank you for your time at my blog. Do keep in touch at twitter and Im looking forward to further interactions. :)
This just happened to work well with the prompt from Poets United - a two-fer!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great prompt and allowed me to write about something I'd never have thought of writing about. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have a secret for you.....if you do children's work you never have to give up play :) off to write now.
ReplyDeleteFun prompt. I am still working on mine. I keep having snatches of ideas that then fly off before i can capture them. I guess I should just start writing it down and see where it goes. Enjoyed reading what all of you have written so far.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's midnight here in NY, and I just linked right before I turn into a pumpkin ... ha ha :) What fun prompt, Dani! I love it, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAn old hunting ground of mine, is this, but I managed to turn a small parcel of it over again I shall be back shortly to feast on other imaginary quests.
ReplyDeleteShakespeare used 'fantastical' in Macbeth. It's one of the several hundred words he coined. It's a great word, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteyes, Margo, i do love 'fantastical' ~ i probably remembered it from Shakespeare without making the connection. i'm so excited by everyone's comments that i can't wait to read your poems!
ReplyDeletethank you all so much for participating! i will be around to see everybody over the weekend! have a great one!
