Christine is known for her writing prompt challenges on her blog Brave and Reckless. She is now hosting a Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge at the Go Dog Go Cafe. The prompts are designed to be quick challenges that can be written in 10 to 15 minutes, inspire you creatively, are fun, and get everyone interacting. Please post your response to the prompt in the comments below and show your fellow posters some love and support. All members of the Go Dog Go community, including Baristas, are welcome to participate. Feel free to share this post on your own blogs and/or Facebook.
Christine is always looking for cool, quick writing prompts. If you have a great idea for a future Tuesday prompt challenge, send it to her at christine.e.ray@gmail.com
Today’s prompt: Making Magic
Today’s writing prompt is inspired by Maureen Thorson’s NaPoWriMo site. Write a poem or a piece of prose in which mysterious and magical things occur. It could take the form of a spell, for example, or simply describe an event that can’t be understood literally. Feel free to incorporate crystal balls, fauns, lightning storms, or whatever seems fierce and free and strange.
Example:
Village Magic
He contained a rough earthy magic
that made dogs follow him through town
as if he carried T-bone steaks in his pocket
made the trees stand up a little straighter
showing off their finery when he walked by
caused the village women to open shutters
undo top buttons
let down their hair
sigh when he strode past their open windows
He only had eyes for her
the woman who lived on the outskirts of town
in a neat cottage full of dried herbs hanging from the ceiling
pitchers full of lavender on her table
she contained moon magic
he could see it in her eyes
in the luminescence of her skin
could hear the tides when his ear was close to hers
the sparks that erupted when they touched
made the fireplace roar and the lanterns flicker
while the wolves howled their music to the starry night

Divine Stallion;
magnificent white brilliance.
Wingspan of glorious elegance;
carried thunderbolts for Zeus.
Spring water burst forth;
where mythical hoof struck earth.
Living through constellation;
illuminating twilight.
The legend of Pegasus;
lingers.
