Same words different meaning
Create a random story, poem or just a random stream of thought using words that have different meanings/spellings but sound the same eg no and know
RayTay in Stream of Consciousness

He Left to the Left.

It had only been two weeks, when he asked if she loved him too

But he didn’t know that the answer was no

He knew it was new,

He was blue when he blew it,

He was told to shoo so he put on his shoe,

Forgot the other one, and she had won,

He forgot his cell, perfect for her to sell,

He turned left, and finally left.

Spiders, Geese and Printers

Who has got the BEST First Liner?
Can you make us thirsty for an entire novel by writing your BEST first line? Write the BEST first line to the next story that you never knew you wanted to tell. Sell us on your big idea in forty (40) words or less, no more. Draw us in by saying everything to overwhelm our minds with excitement or say just enough to lure us in and have us lusting for the next four-hundred pages. Any Genre is allowed. The object is to grab us at the beginning and to make us never want to let go. Must be done in one sentence. Happy writing!

Let’s Shake Hands

He was oddly unsurprised to look down and realize that the thing in his throat was not, in fact, bile, but instead a hand, reaching up and grasping out at him.

Lost
When you're feeling lost, where do you go?
RayTay in Poetry & Free Verse

The Lost Cost

In the dusty dark night,

When everything is out of sight,

As you wander your way,

Where do you stay?

In the light of the day,

Is there something to be gained?

A life to sustain,

What is your guide?

Or must you hide?

When around the next bend,

Is where sanity ends.

Or then are you safe?

In its lonely embrace?

What is the cost?

To no longer be lost.

Sir

I’d ask you, sir,

For your sodden crown,

Your high horse stables,

Carry you around,

Your hands are tied

Your feet are bound

So I’d ask you, sir,

For your sunken name,

Your family shame,

Your loveless gains,

Your lost games

I’d ask you, sir,

For legacies long-lasting,

The hardships steadfastness

Your faulty business

The lacking cast list

I’d ask you, sir,

For heartless

Sharpness

For callous

Solace

For your broken scepter,

Lost receptor,

Do you accept, Sir?
