Magnetic poetry inspired this prompt, which is really a writing exercise that plays with words in a creative way, much like you’d play with magnetic words.
Here’s the prompt: Free write complete nonsense for five minutes. Now go back and take a close look at the words. Use words taken from your free-write composition to create one great sentence.
If you like, feel free to do this exercise here in the comments or on the forum.
