This writing exercise, shared by last year’s #CWprize winner Chanel Sutherland, is about finding your voice.
Write for 10 minute, starting with the sentence:
‘Only I can tell this story because…’ Don’t stop. Don’t edit.
When you’re done, share how it went in the comments or tag us in your reflections.
Could this exercise be the start of a prize-winning story? Remember to enter the prize by 1 November!

a minuscule wrinkle
folds into me
when evening tides
and night circles

7 poems in 7 days: Gembun Day 7
she’s got a pet rock in the drawer
over the years
it slowed its beat
then hardened enough
to not feel —
this rib-caged bird

I ask her

glimpsing a poem as it strolls by
dawn-glow
through speckled clouds
on the horizon
orange marmalade
and warm toast

7 poems in 7 days: Gembun Day 3
through the valley of no words
distant caws
from the dried riverbed
as it curls
around a hill
and disappears

she knows the shape of his fist
gooseberries
splattered on the sidewalk
in fading light
blue-black shadows stretch
then bend to scale walls

what am I
but a speck on a speck
on a speck
in the milky way…
hopefully shining too

she drifted away
when dementia deepened
as if memories
were the ones
weighing her down

lovelorn coos
of a mourning dove —
is it just me
that holds on to little things
like your old coffee cup

long days
of our childless pairing -
a mango tree
in full bloom
laden with hope

on a moonlit porch
the dog and I
and only the chonk chonk
chonk of a lone nightjar

of his passing —
subscription renewal
of another journal
he will never read
