Bamboo Ridge Press was one of the first to publish pieces inclusive of or centering Pidgin (Hawaiʻi Creole English)—as literature.
This interactive prompt tool honors that legacy and invites you to create your own story, poem, or scene rooted in local language, places, and moments.
Click the button to get a randomized writing prompt made up of:
- One Pidgin word or phrase
- One local place
- One activity, food, or object
Use them all together at once, or one or two. Remix however you like. No rules. Jus’ buckaloose and try write.
