<p>Write a poem for prompt number seven? </p>
<p>It says to "write a short story" using one of the given titles (I'm using "The Getaway"), but I have this poem that kind of reads like a story, and I'd like to submit it (it pretty much falls under a "magical realism" genre). Can I interpret the prompt like that?</p>
<p>Even before I read your post, from the moment I saw the title of the thread, I knew I would answer:</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>I also chose to do a poem, but in response to the Kermit (#4) prompt. Mine is wayyy under 250 - 400 words, though…it’s about 150 words. Is it alright if my “essay” is UNDER the suggested limit?</p>

<p>Yes. </p>
<p>Limit = suggested ceiling. Being under should be fine, as long as you are able to tell them what you want to tell em!</p>
<p>Is it alright if my essay doesn’t really fit one of the prompts? It is about my reaction to a book I read and how it shaped my academic interests.</p>
