Happy Snoopycember!! Here are some writing prompts!!
Hello, all, and welcome. It is finally here. The most festive time of year. It’s Snoopycember. As promised a couple weeks ago, this Thursday’s post will get a little bit more into history and particulars of the tradition, but for now, I want to get some writing prompts out to you, so you can get your Daily Snoopy Poems in, if you so choose. Remember, the challenge is to write a poem about Snoopy every day in the month of December. Don’t think you can do it? I bet you can. And if not, it’s fine to just write a couple. The important thing is that you pay your respects to everyone’s favorite Crazy Little Guy. I’m going to be sending these prompts out a week at a time. So here are the first seven. Remember though, these are nit required. If you‘ve got a different kinda Snoopy poem in your heart on any given day, do not feel beholden to the prompt. Happy writing!
- Let's start simple: Introduce yourself to Snoopy. What do you want him to know about you, what do you already know about him? If you need a jumpstart, start like it’s a letter, with Dear Snoopy as your first line.
- Snoopy is terrified of the icicles that hang off of his doghouse in the winter--write a poem where you try to help Snoopy get over that fear, using personal examples of time you have overcome your own fears.
- Did you know that Snoopy owns an original Van Gogh, hung up in his classic red dog house? Write a poem that is a conversation between Vincent and Snoopy.
- Companies love Snoopy. They love putting his face on stuff and selling it for money. This is both a blessing and a curse. Write a poem in which Snoopy examines his co-option by evil capitalist monsters.
- Snoopy has decided to fight back. Write a poem in which Snoopy yells at your least favorite CEO.
- Snoopy has returned home wearing a green hat and has asked you to re-contextualize your relationship with him outside of the confines of capitalism and consumerism. Write a poem about the fondest holiday memory you have involving Snoopy.
- Snoopy loves root beer! Write an ode to your favorite drink trying to get Snoopy to try it.
There we have it folks! Once again, wishing you all a Snoopycember to remember!
