For today’s prompt, write a magic Poem. Write a poem about witches and wizards—or magicians and illusionists. Craft a magical realism poem. Or write about the magic of making movies or everyday life and living. Of course, this is a great opportunity to write a magic 9 poem too.
Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want.
Re-create Your Poetry!
Revision doesn’t have to be a chore–something that should be done after the excitement of composing the first draft. Rather, it’s an extension of the creation process!

and say words like “abracadabra,”
or find a person for them to pick
a random card to reveal by chance
with a “ta-da,” a bow, and a click.
