Welcome to Missy’s MAD Challenge!

Every week, I will share a creative prompt for you to express your imagination and creativity. There are no limitations on style, genre, or length. Your response can be in the form of artwork, or any other creative medium inspired by the prompt. There’s no deadline, so just enjoy the process.

Don’t forget to tag your responses with MMC and #missysmadchallenge.

Pingbacks don’t always work, so please leave your link in the comments. This way, I can respond to you directly, and other bloggers can read your writings.

The challenge goes out around 1 pm Pacific Time on Mondays. Looking forward to reading your responses.

Pristine beams of light.

A beautiful sight.

Bringing peace and harmony

Nature’s wondrous delight.

Damp dew covers all.

Just before the sun warms us.

With the morning’s dawn.

Nature’s beauty shines so bright

As we welcome the new day.

EGO
PERSONA
SELF

A person named Ego had quite the persona,
Always thinking highly, like a majestic iguana.
But deep down inside, beneath the bravado and pelf,
Lay a tiny, insecure, and fragile self.

All eternity.

Encapsulates all moments.

From the first to last.

Time flows endlessly onward.

Embracing all that has been.

The Joy of Drawing

August 3, 2024August 3, 2024 M.A.D. Works

Daily writing prompt

Describe one habit that brings you joy.

View all responses

I find drawing to be a deeply enjoyable and fulfilling habit. There’s something incredibly satisfying about putting pencil to paper and bringing my imagination to life. Whether it’s sketching scenes from nature or creating abstract designs, drawing allows me to express myself in a unique and beautiful way. It brings me a sense of calm and contentment, and I often find myself lost in the process, completely absorbed in the act of creating something new. Also, when I can I enjoy showing my art to my readers.

SHORTAGE
ABUNDANCE
MISSING

There once was a shortage so sad,
The town couldn’t help but feel bad.
But then came a switch,
And now they’re so rich,
They’re up to their ears in abundance they had! But wait, where’s the missing?

HUMAN
CANINE
FELINE

The canine and feline had a secret wish,
to walk on two legs and live like us,
so they dressed in clothes, trying to deceive,
but all they got were chuckles, hard to believe.

Humans marveled at their quirky attire,
gave them treats and pats, never failing to admire,
though mistaken for humans, for a moment or two,
the canine and feline found joy in the view.

Their wish unfulfilled, yet laughter filled the air,
they realized that being themselves was truly fair,
for the love and joy they brought, as creatures so real,
far outweighed the longing to be what they couldn’t feel.
