Game On Prompt

Make a list of your favorite game shows or game shows that you remember from your youth.

Select one to use as the basis for today’s poem.

Next, draft a poem in which the format of your chosen game show becomes the poetic form for any topic of choice, like answers must take the form of a question (as in Jeopardy).

Whether you use the Price is Right, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, or opt for a reality based game show, like The Bachelorette, as the form for your poem, let the parameters of your chosen form push your use of language into the realm of the unexpected.
