Alphabet Creative Writing Prompt: Children

          Always dreaming, thinking, wondering. Boisterous children frolicking through the woods. Courageous yet naive, innocent from the world surrounding them. Dandelions everywhere making them ever so happy, without them even knowing why. Even the smallest of things amaze them. Forever they smile, again, without knowing why. Guiding them are their helpless hearts. Hiding inside of their shell like a turtle, afraid yet excited to come out and see the world. Insight, their creative, young minds slowly being destroyed by their elders. Just one thing keeps them young. Knowing what is too come, would abolish all that they have. Lives we could easily be cherishing, but aren't. Making them spitting images of ourselves and completely ignoring what they want themselves. Not only are they superior, but they are the key to our success. Often ignored by society. Put in schools to be ruined by ignorant persons. Quietly, some disobey but those are the ones who are punished. Really, are we really sure what we are doing is right? Stop and think for a minute. Try to look at it from their point of view. Understand where they're coming from. Verify if what you want them to do is what they want to do. When they try to express themselves, let them. Xylophones, guitars, pianos, we need them all. You need to be able to let everything out and express your feelings. Zephyrs speak quietly to children, so that they know whats right.    

Ironic Situation: Aren't Ambulances Supposed to Save You?

It was 5:00 pm on May 21, 2001. The sun was still shining and the birds were still chirping. Chanel and her daughter were driving down the road at a normal pace, but increasing in speed rapidly. As she got a text from her husband, she haphazardly unlocked her phone to check it, immediately putting herself and her daughter in danger.

As she started reading she got through the words, “Hey, honey how are you and…,” but before she could finish, there was an eighteen wheeler abolishing her and and her daughter’s future. There was an uncanny silence among the street. The cars stopped coming and nothing moved. Surprisingly, Chanel’s daughter, Shalyssa, survived the horrific crash. Since she was only eight years old, so she was crying out of fear only, she had not yet understood the flabbergasting fate of her mother. She did the best she could to get out of the car, and when she did she just stood in awe at what had happened. She then began calling for her mother.

“Mommy! Mommy! Are you okay?”

A near by car arrived at the scene, and called 911.

“Hello, my name is Carmen. Are you okay sweetie?”

Shalyssa answered timidly, “Yes, but I don’t know about my momma.”

“The ambulance will be here soon to check on you and your mom. Stay where you are,” Carmen assured her.

You could hear the ambulance from a thousand miles away, but the eighteen wheeler

blocked the view of when exactly it would arrive. As the sound of an alarm grew closer and closer they knew it was coming. Shalyssa’s heart was beating a million miles an hour and her emotions took over her. She began sprinting into the street. Her short, young legs wouldn’t take her very far, very fast, but soon enough something happened. She was hit. Completely demolished by some car. Carmen could hear the entire thing as she was trying to stop her. When she got to the other side of the eighteen wheeler, Carmen saw two things. An ambulance sitting there, with Shalyssa lying there in front of it. Lifeless.

Poems

Elegy:
He was so young and naive,
so unique, you wouldn’t even believe.
when he passed us with pride,
without meeting a bride,
I couldn’t even imagine my life.

Only a boy, not even a teen,
why does life have to be so mean?
all of his life, his experiences great,
but then this happens.
Then this happens?

I hate him for this, I hate him,
but i loved him.
It flew in like a bird, without one word,
and took him with no regard.

He was no good anyways, but…
I cannot lie, I am nothing without him in my life,
I cannot go on.
I can never go on again.

I have to move on, I have to
I can no longer do this…
I can not reminisce with remorse,
no more sad songs singing in my head,
I'm done.

 

Limerick:
There once was a frail, fragile frog,
he made friends with a big, brown hog.
When the others made fun,
he would just shun.
but of course he would never flog.

Triolet:
Her smile was so bright,
it made my day and every night.
She sang with such delight,
Her smile was so bright,
She made me feel like i was in flight,
so, why did we fight?
Her smile was so bright,
it made my day and every night.
