Poems based on the Card's draw

The Basics
The game is inspired by Cards Against Humanity. In the original game, you'd get your own cards.
In this version, I use dice rolls to select the "cards" to create a writing challenge.

Each round will have up to three rolls:

1. The main Prompt Card.
2. The Word Cards (2).
3. The Wildcard.

Prompt Cards set the broad idea for the poem.


Examples:
*Bullet* Write about being trapped inside a dream.
*Bullet* Write about a storm.
*Bullet* Muddy Footprints

Word Cards are just that: random words you must use in your poem.


*Bullet* You only need to use one of the two words, unless a wild card states otherwise.

Wildcards are twists, constraints, or abstracted ideas you'll need to weave into your poem.

Examples:
*Bullet* Thematic: The smell of forgotten things.
*Bullet* Mood: A sense of danger.
*Bullet* Constraint: Use exactly ten words per line.
