Writing Prompt

People love me from a distance

I “stand out” they say

My bright, patterned fur attracts people

But when they get close,

They see my teeth and claws

Then run away

I try to catch up with them

But they run faster

I let them

I’m worried I might hurt them

A big cat with big teeth

Not much I can do to prevent

Hurting people...

(Dark twist on this prompt. Just bear with me on the weird spelling its supposed to be a kitten so i personified them as a very young child)

I’m not bad, I’m not good,

I’m just misunderstood.

Vicious killer,

In a bloody thriller.

But look into my eyes

And you’ll soon realise

That my spirit is pure

And I’m shy and insecure.

See beyond the hate

Open your heart’s gate

For I live within you

Believe it, for its true.

And you’re part of me

Look deeply and you’ll see

We are but one

Inseparable and undone.

I’m your wildness and your fears

Your...

So, I was just down the road the other day, staring at the sun, minding my own business when - - - there's someone who looks just like me standing right there! One second...ouch! Okay, that was just my reflection. Anyway, where was I? Oh, did you know if you turn your head upside down, you can actually see better? Me either. Last time I tried that, people laughed at me.

What's that?!

Hmmm. Okay, w...

A tiger: ruthless, forthcoming, strong, loving, and relaxed. She is above average height, toned, zen, and has simple but impeccable style. A yellow fitted tee with baggy black harem pants compliment her physique, and she has long, wavy hair complimented by gold hoop earrings. She knows that she cannot figure the world out, so she lives life carefree and simple. Nobody can test her, or they’ll get ...

Looking at the tops of everybody’s heads is annoying. Nobody’s head looks good from the top. Their face, maybe. But I can never see their faces. Bending down hurts my back. I’m getting too old for this.

Being tall kinda sucks. Especially when your skinny. But at least I’m not short. My friend monkey tells me that you NEVER want to see the inside of a gorilla’s nostrils.

Being tall isn’t too bad...

Streamlined skull idling in the reed grass

Among the jumpseed fleet footed bones poise

white ribcage releasing the coattails of winter

heart pounding, feet pounding

eating up earth and asphalt

nothing can hold me down

no one can catch me again

gulping mouthfuls of warm moist air

Calm wicks off my skin

Chunks of me careen away as I pick up

Speed trickles down my spine and pools

on my sun picke...

Long ago there lived a lady with rosy skin and a noisy disposition, her nose was large and she struggled to breathe causing her to grunt and groan and snore much to the behest of her husband. She was a clean lady, taking good care of her body despite her willingness to eat any and all manner of things. She often bathed in baths filled with mud which she claimed kept her skin young and healthy.

His shaggy hair, a mane of splendor. Eyes as sharp as a diamond that pierce into your very heart. Some say wisdom lies in his eyes but I hear it in his words. No matter what tone he speaks, his words are like a roar that catches the attention of a crowd. As soon as he enters a room you can’t help but stare as he walks with an aura of confidence that’s hard to bare. Still, there's something about h...

Raven rode into town on her buckskin horse. She’d heard the sheriff of Coyote’s Call had cleaned the town up in a little over a year. She was sure this would be a risk, but it’d be a risk worth taking. The bank, as a result of the lack of crime and surplus of miners, contained all the shiny gold Raven could ever want.

“Let’s see what you’re made of Sheriff Fox.”

Raven rode slowly through town—n...
