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 the comments.
Word Prompt
Ignite
Challenge
The challenge is simple: each week you will be given an exact number of words you can use to write a poem or piece of prose. You can use any format or style you like; go wherever your inspiration takes you. The only rules are these:
- your poem / prose must contain this week’s word. The word does not have to count towards the exact word count total – it can be in the title, or the first letters of the lines of a poem can spell it out – you can be as creative as you want as long as it’s there somewhere.
- the length of your poem / prose must match the number of words stated in this week’s challenge. No more. No less.
Can’t wait to read what you have come up with!

Sammi, I hope I have done this correctly, as I am blind and cannot quite make out how we are supposed to do this. Please let me know if I have done it wrong.

White Knight ignite your light,
Smite blighting shade!
Flaming bright, do what’s right,
Burn the Devil’s brigade!

Most kind, thank you. I’m part-way through a slightly longer poem, which undoubtedly influenced my approach here.
Appreciate your comment. Have a great weekend.
Brightest Blessings. Namaste 🙂

Interesting poem, Dewin. It’s fun, with a light-heartedness to it, but it also evokes a good versus evil vibe. Great stuff 🙂

Namaste Sammi, how are you? 🙂
An excellent turn-out for the challenge this week! The diversity and quality of individual responses is superb. It pleases me no end to read them: I’m sure many found enjoyment as well 🙂
Thank you for reflection on my 17 words…I hadn’t considered it light-hearted, but perhaps that is because I broke from writing Pit-Stop, which is a little heavier, and enjoyed penning the poem for your Challenge.
I’m just back from a long walk around the local area and have returned home with 5 long white, wooden golf-tees. Not quite sure why they interested me as they did, but i’ll give it some thought later…perhaps in their finding is a poem of some sort waiting to appear! 🙂
Thank you for comment and Challenge in equal measure 🙂
Namaste 🙂
