POETRY WRITING PROMPT #14 (OF 30!)

Congratulations on writing two weeks worth of poems!

Today I want to consider the special place in hell for the people spoiling Game of Thrones on the internet.

As you know, I am wont to turn negative things into positive ones, which is where today’s writing prompt comes from. Write 30 spoiler alerts for your life.

Maybe you write about things that have already happened, like, “Spoiler alert: Your first love breaks up with you in his car. Spoiler alert: you get over it. Spoiler alert: you forget his middle name.”

OR

Write spoiler alerts that you predict for your future, like “Spoiler Alert: your funeral is so full of friends they have to hold two funerals to fit everybody.” With that option, you can negate all your life’s fears with a little reassurance from THE FUTURE.

Have fun, be specific, use more images than adjectives. Write the details of your life - your greatest tool.

SPOILER ALERT: you’re awesome and your poem is gonna be too.
