Today's poetry prompt is:

Today’s Prompt

Write a poem in any form incorporating the concepts Martyr, Justice, and Fate—and the "opposites" of those concepts.

The Navigation Card here asks you to think about opposing ideas for each of these cards. Be creative with this. The opposite of Fate, for example, might be free will, but what is the opposite of a martyr? Someone really comfortable, perhaps?

Today's pull is a little conceptual, so perhaps get into your draft with a salient image or story and go from there.
