If your new to my site. I have been working with a variety of writing prompts over the last few weeks. It’s week 3 and this week I’ve been thinking about flavours. I’ve written two poems, my first poem It’s Just?… is based on the prompt below. My second poem is more about memories related to a particular flavour.
Opening up a box of chocolates and selecting a favourite one. Describe why you selected it.
It’s Just?…
Inside
My chocolate
Box?
Which one
Is best
Should it
Be
Soft centred
Orange?
Perhaps
A
Hard brittle
Toffee?
Or maybe
It’s the only
One
I would choose
A whole box
Of
Just Strawberry!
Poem by Nick
****************
Strawberries
Taste of summer
I remember
A sunny afternoon
In
Strawberry picking fields
Row
Upon
Row
Of
Red berry fruit
Taste
Juicy and sweet
I see
Overhead swifts fly
High
In the sky
Then
I head home
To make jam
In a preserving pan
Strawberries
Are cooking well
Now
Jam sugar added
And finally
A lingering sweet
Scent
Hangs
In the light air
Poem by Nick
If you would like to join me in writing a story, poem or description, there’s still time to have a go using the writing prompt below; in no more than 150 words in total.
I will publish each one in a themed post on my site next week. (Subject to work being suitable for publication, is not offensive, abusive and does not contravene any laws in any way.)
I will also write something for each theme and hopefully there will be a number of writing styles to compare.
Please send in work by the date listed with a written note giving me permission to publish your item on my site. I look forward to reading your work and letting others share your amazing stories.
So here is my writing prompt for a short story, poem or description.

Shut your eyes and imagine your drifting along in a boat. Where are you going to? What places have you seen on your journey?
