Do you need some dialogue prompts to help write your next story? Or maybe you’re already writing a story and you need inspiration for the next scene or conflict? Here are fifty-five dialogue prompts for you to use! 1. “I don’t get it. I got the money and the charisma, and yet he got the girl. What does he have that I don’t?!” “Empathy, humility, a functioning brain–Shall I go on?” 2. “I’m not one to name names, but— “Then keep your mouth shut! Do I look like I need drama right now?!” 3. “I don’t think you understand the severity of the situation.” “Oh, I understand the severity.

When Life Gets Boring

When life gets boring

Do something different

Like going to a zoo

And freeing an elephant.


If you’re still bored,

Do something extra

Like taking the freed elephant

To your local cinema.


If you’re still bored

Do something you love

Like writing wacky poems

About a fairy or a dove.


If you’re still bored

Get someone to do it with you

Like the elephant you freed

From your local zoo.


If all else fails,

Then face your greatest fear.

Get out of your comfort zone

And sing for the whole world to hear.


If you’re scared to do it alone

Then form a quartet.

The elephant can be one of them,

He’d do well with a trumpet.


If you’re still bored, sorry,

Other suggestions are irrelevant.

By now, you’ll be taken to jail

For stealing the zoo’s elephant.


***

This poem was created out of boredom and a need to write something different. Stealing elephants from zoos is not advised. However, doing something different and fun (and legal) now and then is. 😊
