For this prompt, take a look at a stack of five books or five books on a shelf. Take the first word (not A or THE) and write it down. Use these words in a poem.<\/p>\n

\nwas a cool miracle,
\na study in pink and orange and red,
\na mystical spell
\nthat tamed the world.
\nAnd like the evening bird,
\nwe sang one last word.<\/p>\nSet the timer for 7 minutes.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Start writing!
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\nDon\u2019t think about it too much; just do it. <\/strong><\/h3>\n
