can we do more than one prompt? if it fits together?
-
-
sorry...only one choice. Love, Lane

Oh, this is delicious, and I can't wait to sink my teeth into it.

i can write a ten liner with just those prompts, in their exact order with only the addition of one or two other lines and a transitive word here and a transitive word there ...
yes I can ... but
... i will abide by the rules .. you know I hate rules ... 
... rules are for weaklings and sissy faces and potty faces and snickerdy dickerdy lickedy clocks !!!!!!

Call me a show off, but I couldn't help agreeing with you about just using the prompt lines (with a few additions). I couldn't do it in ten lines, but;
She fell into step with trouble
As her senses closed a door
And we sprinkled pepper on our eggs
while black tea brewed against dawn.
It was insane to believe that
he drew his intentions without being
alone with you, and the cat stretched
two hours away from anything or nothing.
Bring your shadow over here.
Can’t you see she sharpened her tongue
on whetstone lips,
and life began when he finally listened.
I'd love to see what you came up with
