Berry Brown sought to save his town

For his father’s flame a bee did snub.

A shared condition of bee stings was ‘round

For that he started ‘Bee Allergy Club.’

In meetings, they told of sightings,

Wound treatings, whereabouts, and writings.

They gave support, ran member reports,

Told bee-themed tall tales quite nail-biting.

“Melted snow marked

the end of the season”

Berry brown remarked.

The bones on Wartha’s hand tugged on her fingers like the strings of a marionette. She sprinkled in a dash of pigskin shavings and a touch or orangutan hair. The green elixer shown excitedly when the ingredients graced its surface, and was even more electric when stirred by Wartha’s ladle. Her elongated, knotty fingers wrapped around the misshapen wooden handle, cackling as the potion neared compl...

Then it grew.

It painted, then drew.

It received, then delivered.

Until finally, the chill withered....

I dont write on the page, the page writes on the quill. Its about the process not the journey.

The formation of words,

The foundation of stanzas,

The dribble of half-legible jarble

Is what makes it worth the wait.

To hell with the readers. I couldnt give less of a damn what you think. Huck-tpu! (spit sound effect) youre opinion rings no note in my formidable head.

For i an confident. The only ...

The quill to the page

The eye to the letter

The message left on hold

The story never told

Words without readers

Art without collectors

Clowns without a circus

Alone without a purpose

Picture in your mind’s eye 2 characters: one named Maranda, and the other named Quinn, both of which so happen to stand near feet away from each other at the Insult Convention.

It is especially important to use your unbridled imagination to create this vivid and robust scene for the best reading experience. It may very well be that the quintessential Daily Prompt entry lies ahead through carefull...

“You brutish split-brain patient! You lodged a brownie into the judge’s abdomen panel!?”

Gorb became defensive. “I was bored! And the prank was pretty funny but then I was having exoskeleton pains so decided to go home.”

Cazgor turned away and huffed awkwardly when he realized that was the end of Gorb’s sentence. The silence reached its pregnancy when Cazgor cracked his beak. “Well thanks to you...

I got taken by pirates

What a notion!

Its dark in the dungeon.

Such commotion!

I smell salt of salt

Am i in the ocean?

I didnt bring my lotion

And im stuck in the ocean.

I feel the waves

I hear the waves

Could it be?

Am i in the ocean?

Why are there animatronics

In the dungeon?

Why are they singing at me?

Oh wait! Im in the pirates of the Caribbean ride at disneyworld!

Such commontion

Libby the librarian skimmed her finger across a sea of bookcases, allowing the leather and hard covers to putter against her skin. In a moment of convergence, of all of the worlds knowledge in a single, peaceful library aisle, Libby thought to herself:

“I really wish fights to the death were legal.”

Her hand walks across the top of a book and push it towards her to reveal its title from the book...

The Travelling Medicine Man came to town each year

To cure the diseased.

He was a beloved man with no foe or fear,

Everyone was pleased.

But then one year a patient bit his beloved leg

And it fell right off the man.

He could no longer travel with a peg.

He was then just the Medicine Man.

The Medicine Man was stuck in the village, he could still cure it all.

From syphilis to gonorrhea,

Fix your t...
