Think about a time when you knew someone was lying about something and decided to confront them about it. What did you say? How did you approach the situation? Have you ever a lie go "free"? What do you think compels a person to lie?
Start a poem with a word that begins with the letter 'A', moving along the alphabet (English, please) for each successive word. The poem must follow these directions and must make sense somehow.
For example -
All brown cows dive Enigmatically
Forward, going
Heavy into jumps,
Kaleidoscopic.
That's A through K. How far can you get?

Write you own "worst thing" about what your brain does sometimes that makes life difficult for you.

The six villages of Westerly Island are not peaceful. Countless wars drove the leaders of each village to come to certain terms, granting each of the six villages a separate piece of the island to inhabit. Westerly Island's Moray Mountain is one of the most fierce volcanoes in the world, rumored to spit its angry molten bowels and toxic effluvium miles into the sky every summer. The island suffered an immense volcanic eruption last year, laying waste to everything in its blind, raging path. This summer marks the coming of a new age, wherein it has been prophesied that the people of all the villages will have to band together to defeat a common foe.
