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
Antipathy
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!
* Whispers and Echoes – an online journal of short writing – is now open to submissions *

My mother’s sister. Tipathee. An unusual name, a mean spirited woman.
I wanted to like her, was supposed to like her, but couldn’t. Always had an aversion to Aunt Tipathee.

Antipathy
A pretty smile,
Some pretty tears
Trickling down the cheeks.
A pretty praise
In front of you.
Closeness and fondness.
And behind your back,
A pretty stab,
All fake feelings.
