This week – the prompt is J is for jump or anything to do with jump.
There’s jump as in literally jump up and down, and so you can have athletics events – high jump, long jump, triple jump… racehorses can go over the jumps and there’s jumping jacks and jump jets…
And then there’s ‘Oh! You made me jump!’ when someone’s startled you; ‘He’s for the high jump’ when someone’s going to be punished for some wrongdoing or ‘He’s nothing but a jumped-up barrow boy’…
We talk about ‘a jump in price’, someone jumping bail, jump-starting a car or putting on a jumper or a jumpsuit.
You can jump ship, a queue, the gun, the lights, the broomstick, to a conclusion, at an invitation or a chance, down someone’s throat.
So, it’s the usual stuff – who, what, where, when, how and why?
Let’s hear your stories, poems, pieces of descriptive writing – don’t forget it doesn’t have to be the complete story – prompted by the word ‘jump’. But it is only a prompt. If you’ve got something else that you’re burning to write about, then write about that.
Send them to louise.hulland@bbc.co.uk and we’ll look at them next time we’re together on the air.
