Prompt nest
Spoiler
"all I can think about is standard deviations"-quote from LadySpark that would be a great prompt
-play with form. Sestinas seem like a beast but I could give it a shot. Maybe try a sonnet or a ballad again?
-perhaps a notebook from an instagtram ad could save me (I actually did buy a journal for burnout from an instagram ad. Time will tell if I actually use it.
From a poetry prompt book I bought a few years back from Five Below
-include the words flowers, bloom, wax, wane stem-bonus if poem is NOT about flowers or the natural world
-lethologica-when you can't think of the word for something (prompt is to describe it without using the word

-phosphenes-the colors of the "stars" that you see when you rub your eyes
redamancy-the act of loving in return
-trance, electric, dance floor, twist, mirror-bonus-do not write about dancing or a night on the town
-the concept of feeling like the "keeper of memory", like it is your job to remember the things that sane people have long forgotten.
