Black and white were the colours of her canvas. Her brush trudged with the strokes of 

emptiness of her reflection. With forlorn look at the painting she jumped, tearing the 

canvas, into the abyss of loneliness embracing the blackness and plunging into the valley 

of no return. Rest-in-peace, tired soul.

Weekend Writing Prompt #10 – Mimic

Challenge

Prose Challenge – Write a story in no more than 50 words inspired by clouds.  Bonus 

points for those who manage to get the word “mimic” in there too 

Poetry Challenge – Write a five line poem where the first letter of each line spells out 

“mimic” when read from top to bottom.  The theme of the poem should somehow tie in to 

the definition of the word.

My take on the prompt :  I have combined the prose and poetry challenge condescending 

it to 50 words. 

My dance teacher always

Instructed the students to

Mimic the wooing peacocks

In the rains,

Consumed with raging passion.

                   

                     Tansen‘s melodious strains  of Raag-Megh-Malhaar compelled the firmament                      

                     to loosen up. The black clouds were teased and tantalized to quench and                         

                     satiate the Earth’s needs.              

                     Natraja’s sonorous anklets strummed in ecstasy. 

                      Written for Sammi Cox's Weekend writing Prompt -10-Mimic

“Show me your hand”, the Principal uttered sternly.

The ink smeared hand was displayed with reluctance.

“Did you forge this letter?”, the teacher glared.

“This isn’t my hand-writing, swear”, Amy defended herself.
