Writing Prompt #15

Start this writing exercise by making a list of as many inanimate objects as you can think of in five minutes. Repeat this by making another list of as many animate objects as you can think of in five minutes. Create five unlikely pairs from these lists, one from each list. (e.g. a monkey and an ice cream cone) Use this list as a jumping off point for either a poem in which you create vivid imagery based on these pairs, or use them as the basis for a prose piece in which two characters are forced to interact with each other because of the pairs.
