In this writing prompt you are invited to update a piece of writing. In the example below, I took a prose poem I wrote about 10 years ago in 2010 and updated it with current references while keeping the general flow and rhythm of the piece.
Adopt a style of irony becomes, “protect public safety.”
Stop with the one-liners and lewd t-shirts becomes, ” Stop with the easy capitulations that amount to nothing.”
Trickster God needs a makeover becomes, “Trickster God needs a takeover.”
Writing Prompt: Take a short piece of prose of your own (preferably less than 3 paragraphs that describe a scene) and keep the cadence and sentence structure but update the concepts and theme.
