Celebrate the holiday by writing scary and/or magical poems!

For the first prompt, write your own origin story as a witch or monster or magical creature. Make it as realistic as possible.

For the next prompt, use the line “and then — magic powers. It’s not like you think” as a ghostline. Or choose a substitute for “magic powers.” Regardless, remember to erase the line and give credit to the poet for the inspiration.

And for the final prompt—another ghostline—write a poem that describes the “what being asked to step out of life and into” is.
