Write a "SPACE" poem:
"Write a space poem. Your poem could be about outer space or inner space. It could opine on the social spacing much of the world is currently doing.

Now, I’ll back off and give everyone plenty of space to write their poems today.
Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt.
