In my group (Lee, Shaun, and myself), the writing prompt we decided to work on was a an idea to create something that only used single syllable words, with a theme of describing and focusing on sounds. In my piece, I also seem to have used a lot of color, but I enjoy the imagery the most.
Night in Styx
Time of black
Steel wall gates
Hell made soul
Winds to howl
At the gates
Scream a name
Choke out life
As it flows
Burns out life
Cries of pain
Boil in throat
Slayed in wake
No help found
All hounds growl
Pay deaths toll
Ok, this is great. See if you can push the idea further, write whole sentences, a whole story using only one-syllabus words...there is intriguing language here, try some other possibilities too.... see what happens.
