Wordbank Wednesday

by

cupcake.jpgHello once again everyone!

Welcome to another mid-week random word bank. I rather like random word banks. There is a challenge in them that not only gets your mind working, but you can also end up with a scene that you didn’t know you had it in you to write.

I hope you find these word banks useful. If there is a type of prompt you would prefer to see, please let me know.

Remember, with all the words, you can use any form, any tense of the word. Eg. Laugh can be laugh, laughter, laughs, laughed.

For the first word bank, I don’t want you to write a short story or anything actually. What I want you to do is word association. For every word there, I want you to write the word and then write the first word that comes to your mind after.

For the second word bank, I do want you to write a short story (or something longer if you like) that incorporates this week’s theme. This round goes as usual; just include all of the words in the bank.

For the third word bank, it is something different yet again. I would like you to try your hand at writing a poem incorporating the words provided. (Don’t worry if you can’t quite use all the words; eight or nine is great!)

Enjoy!

    Hello all. For anyone who thinks to check out the comments… 451Press is no longer operating. I don’t even have access to my blogs to tell you where I will be in a post, so this is the best I can do.

    Until I establish myself elsewhere, you can find me at TheNewAustralian dot blogspot dot com

    Thank you all so much for your support.

    A beautiful light hovered close to this place,
    Moving slowly towards the night that beckoned
    To turn and walk was the only choice
    The soft hum of the earth reverberated under tentative, but resigned steps
    The wind would offer no comfort as it pushed on.
    Move on, it whispered through voiceless rustles
    There is no more for you to do here
