Description and prompt for September:
September is the first month of the school calendar when high streets are brimming with enticing ‘Back to School’ Sales (which I still love but that’s something to do with women and stationary ~ Am I on my own here or do you feel the stationary love?).  To commemorate this often daunting and exciting time our poetry prompt this month is, “When I grow up I want to be…” or “Students and Teachers”.  So apply some method acting to poetry and make Stanislavski proud by remembering those childhood moments or think about sons, daughter, nephews, nieces, the neighbour’s loud brats and get that ink flowing!
Our prose prompt is a continuation from last month’s theme of “It’s a Mystery” and expanding to include the vaguer “Strange Occurrences” which could be anything from your mother-in-law actually complimenting your D.I.Y. to grand theft or mythical beings, so grab a deerstalker and get your thinking hat on.
