A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in Sammi’s comment section.
ARACHNOPHOBIA
Remember the animated version of Charlotte’s Web?
Who could resist Wilbur the pig,
The runt of the litter,
Sweetly voiced by Henry Gibson?
“Fine swine.”
Charlotte, a darling with eight legs,
Who sounded like Debbie Reynolds,
Spun the piglet’s praises into her web.
I wept
When she
Went to the great spiderweb in the sky
Leaving poor Wilbur to grieve.
Tender story.
However,
Should one of Charlotte’s eensy-weensy relatives
Visit me.
Whack! Splat!
I don’t care if
She was a sentient life form, Captain Janeway.
