Today’s Prompt

We pulled an asterism card! These form-related cards are more process-oriented than formal; they ask you to generate poetry in a unique way. Try your hand at this one, but if it doesn't suit you, feel free to write in a more traditional form.

Write a poem incorporating the concepts of Magic, Broken, and Fate. One approach to this prompt is to generate lists of words and images you associate with the three concepts on a piece of paper, then cut those words up and arrange them into a poem (perhaps emulating brokenness... or magic or fate?)

Prompts and paintings:
