We’re a third of the way through the month! Here’s today’s prompt:

Today’s Prompt

Write a prose poem incorporating the concepts of monsters, magic, and dreams.

Prose poetry often taps into the poet's own stream-of-consciousness, which makes the "Dreams" card doubly exciting. But anyone well-versed in Jungian psychology might see a relationship to Monsters and Magic as well.

The point is, use these prompts to trace the outlines of your consciousness. Write through your associations, follow random intuitions, and write into a moment of epiphany.
