Today's prompt is all about pushing through the fog.

Today’s Prompt

Write a rondeau at the intersection of Determination, Ambiguity, and Words.

In honor of the Determination card, the Navigation card is a little harder today—no need to use iambic meter, but there is a syllable restriction, rhyme scheme, and refrain.

Personally, I feel as though we are all trudging through fog, so hopefully these cards help you get a little closer to the lighthouse at the end of it.

Paintings and prompts:

Determination

Stare dead-eyed at what you want most.

Ambiguity

Write from a place of not knowing.

Words

Is language the light or the fog you march through?
