It does not have to. I had never even thought of trying! I don't think any one else in last night's call tried to do so. I have A LOT of work to do on that first draft, so maybe I'll see if there's a way to make that happen in a future draft as an experiment, but it is definitely not a requirement.
I started on a short story already and then thought would you allow poems? They’re fiction but this seems to much of a story. I might change my mind by the time I finish.
Late to the party with my comment, but I love a sentence that has a little of the poetic in it. For example, the title of Ursula Le Guin's novella: The Word for World Is Forest.
Oh, this is SO cool! I'm a bit late to the party, but I'll see if I can come up with something good next month. I'd love to participate. And as far as sentences are concerned: I like to be surprised! Maybe it's an unexpected turn of phrase, an intriguing comparison, or even just words that aren't typically sentence bedfellows.
Something to bite our teeth into! Does the prompt appear as a first line or anywhere in the story?

Ok thank you!
Happy writing!!
Thank you and to you! Could it be a poem?
I would have loads of fun reading a poem. I can’t see why not!
