Writer’s Workshop- Fairness

Here are the prompts for this week’s Writer’s Workshop:

  1. Write a post based on the word fairness.
  2. Write a post in exactly 12 sentences.
  3. Would you rather spend the rest of your life without music or without movies?
  4. What’s something that is common today that humans will be embarrassed about doing in 50 years?
  5. What’s your opinion on naps?
  6. What’s something you find attractive that others may not?

Fairness is a standard we should all uphold,
Yet some believe that they’re superior, bold.
To treat each with equality is what it’s about,
So pause and reflect before you act out.

Would you want this for yourself,
If not, then it’s not fair, you see,
Walk a mile in another’s shoes,
To understand, to set the world free.

Imagine a place where kindness reigns,
Where empathy replaces divisions and pains.
Together we can strive for a better space,
United in fairness, we’ll change the human race.

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts

This week, John Holton gives us six writing prompts and we are tasked with choosing one of the prompts (or as many as we want) and writing a post that addresses that (or those) prompts. The prompt I chose this week is 1 and 2

Here are this week’s prompts:

  1. Write a post based on the word roommates.
  2. Write a post in exactly 12 sentences (lines).
  3. What’s something that makes you far angrier than it should?
  4. Write about something you’ve recently spent a lot of time wondering about.
  5. If you could change the color of one thing, what would it be and why?
  6. If you knew you could live forever, how would you spend your days differently?

Here we go!

In a small room with walls so tight,
Two friends share laughter, morning and night.
Dishes pile up, but that’s okay,
We’ll tackle them together, come what may.

Movies at dusk, popcorn in hand,
Late-night talks, dreams we’ve planned.
Sometimes we argue, but then we mend,
In this little world, we learn to blend.

Through ups and downs, we’re side by side,
In this crazy life, we take the ride.
Roommates for now, but friends for life,
Together we grow, avoiding all strife.
