Hello there! How're you all doing? I've not been around for some time, so I might've missed some lovely poems and challenges. I'm back now and ready to rumble!
Thanks to everyone that participated in the last challenge, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into it. Without further ado, let's dive into this week's challenge!
Prompt: “The Edge of Danger”
Image generated using Copilot
Danger isn’t always flashing lights and loud alarms. Sometimes, it’s a quiet tension, a feeling in your chest, a line you're afraid (or tempted) to cross. For this prompt, write about danger in any form.
- What does danger look like to you? A person? A place? A feeling?
- Was it external or internal? Were you running from something or toward it?
- How did your body react? Did time slow down, senses sharpen, or did everything blur?
- Did you face it, flee, or fall into it? And what did that choice cost you?
Bonus challenge: Let danger be a character; seductive, violent, misunderstood, or something only you recognize for what it truly is.
Make your words pulse. Let the reader feel the breath catch, the heartbeat rise, the stillness before everything changes.
