Story in Five Lines

See where your mind and creativity take you if you write a story in only five lines.


First Line:           Create a title that piques the reader's curiosity.

Second Line:      Use two words to describe the title.

Third Line:         Use three words in a sentence to show action.

Fourth Line:       Use four words to describe a feeling about the title.

Fifth Line:          Rename or describe the first line.


Here's an example:

Wrist watch not needed.

Childhood days

She chases dragonflies.

Wonder, joy, discovery, fun.

Time evaporates during childhood play.


Creative Write: Start your story.  After the five lines do a freewrite to see where else your ideas might travel.
