A lie this big could move these mountains, but the truth could obliterate them.
RJ Walker, “Deceit & I”
Title a poem after a cliche phrase and recreate it into something new with an entirely different meaning. My friend, Rj, has a great example for this below.
He also has an awesome writing workshop I based this prompt off of that can help you crank out poems found here. It’s 30 days worth of exercises for $30. I just bought it for myself to help with my own writer’s block, and it’s been hugely inspiring so far.

“I Don’t Sweat, I Sparkle” by RJ Walker, For Shannielle Faith
It took the surgeon days of cutting and implanting, but it had finally been done. I had finally achieved godhood. I now sweat glitter. I was like you once. Boring. Smelly matte colored. Nobody invited me to their birthday party. Nobody would dance with me no matter how many drugs I took. But everything changed once I realized the truth. That humans are fucking ugly and they smell bad. But you know what isn’t ugly or smelly? Disco balls. Everybody loves fucking disco balls. So I decided to become a disco ball. The good doctor replaced all of my sweat glands with house parties. He replaced my blood with confetti my tears are now sprinkles and every waking moment I excrete glitter. He even dressed me up in the nicest suit I’d ever worn! Now, I shine like a new day. I am a fucking firework. I explode everywhere I go!
Who’s the brightest student now, Mrs. Whitmore? Can you see me now mom! Can you see me now dad! Your son has finally become a star! A sparkling nova. You can dig up your memory of me and put it in the sky now. So famous now, they drive me around in the back of my personal black limo. Look at all the friends I have now! Look at all the people who care about me now! Standing around me in their best black suits and black dresses watching waiting to see what I will do next, how the sun, shines off my face. The disco ball boy. Famous now, I even made the papers my photo next to words about how awesome I was to have around. They’ve put a plaque on the ground dedicated to how brightly I shine. “Our Little Light” in gold letters next to my name. This is finally my moment. The moment you watch this best dressed little boy explode. Look at the emotion on their faces they can’t even hold it in as they all lift me up like their new king! They gently set me down and gather around and deliver speeches about how much they love me and close the lid.

The desire to die can be an addicting drug, but the will to live can be a euphoric struggle.
