haiku Fortune Cookie

a sugar wafer
crispy, golden thin, tasty
good fortune awaits


     Your challenge for today is to write your own paper fortune.  If you made fortune cookies, what would be the fortune you'd want to read inside?  Can you write fortunes for your family and your friends?

    Maybe this will help.

  3. It would be fun to make these for students to use as prompts perhaps, especially in the new year, Joy. I didn't know they could be made, actually. I would look for a fortune that said "you will receive some quiet hours in the new year!"

    1. Linda,
      I have actually done this as a writing exercise with student writers. I give each student a fortune cookie and ask them to write about the cookie and the fortune, or to use the cookie as part of a short story. The results have always been excellent.
