Instead of writing about fate or freewill, I cheated and wrote a Haiku about each.
The arrow’s arc traced
the path that had been waiting
since the start of time.

Though it may be true,
I cannot choose the outcome,
I choose my response.

This poem was posted for the previous week’s poetry prompt, Fate or Freewill.
These two haiku work well as a diptych. I imagine them printed on opposing pages, and then, it’s for the reader to make up their mind. I don’t think writers have to provide answers. I do think, however, that we should come up with interesting questions. Well played, Brian.

Thank you for your comment and appreciation. Diptych is a new term for me, and I see what you mean by these working in that type of view. Giving the reader just enough to start to fill in and solve themselves is a poetic goal for sure.

I don’t think this is cheating at all. It works great, like Britta said. Absolutely true, too.

I suppose you’re right. There are no rules or expectations with my prompts so cheating can’t really be a thing 🙂
