This came from a prompt in Diane Lockward’s poetry newsletter of March 1, 2019.
Irrational belief
Choose a superstition for your own
poem. Feel free to select something
not on the list. Who gave you

if you ignore it? Imagine breaking
the taboo. Meditate on what follows
your failure to listen. Now bring in
the joy of defying this directive
without consequence. Write
until you surprise yourself.
