5/7 Weekly creativity contest winner & new prompt
The winning entry for last week’s prompt, “view from the window,” is an untitled poem submitted by Elizabeth Campbell:
I come late
to nature
I am not
a climber of mountains
a spelunker of caves
a diver of oceans
except within these walls,
where I weave webs that
keep me close to home
watching through windows
with wanting
the wind, the dark, the leaves
familiar and foreign, alive.
Congratulations, Elizabeth! Your $10 amazon.com gift certificate will be arriving shortly. Don’t spend it all at once! 🙂
This week, I am also posting two other entries (both short prose pieces), one from a regular blog contributor (Jenn), and one from an occasional commenter (Juliet Bell). Click on “continue reading” below to read those entries.
This week’s prompt: “A cup of coffee.”
Use the prompt however you like. All media are welcome. Please e-mail your entries to creativereality@live.com by midnight on Tuesday, May 13. The winning entry receives a $10 gift certificate to amazon.com. Writers should include their submission directly in the body text of their e-mail. Visual artists and photographers should attach an image of their work as a jpeg. Enter as often as you like; multiple submissions for a single prompt are welcome. There is no limit to how many times you can win the weekly contest, either. (You do not have to be a contributor to this blog in order to enter. All are invited to participate.) Remember, the point here is to stimulate your output, not to create a masterpiece. Keep the bar low and see what happens. For more info, read the original contest blog post.
