Constraint-based writing exercise using arbitrary rules to spark creativity.

Write a poem under strict arbitrary constraints to unlock unexpected creativity.

Theme: {{theme}}

Apply these constraints simultaneously:
- Line limit: {{line_count}} lines exactly
- Each line must have exactly {{syllable_count}} syllables
- Every line must include a {{required_element}} (color/number/body part)
- One specific word is forbidden: {{forbidden_word}}
- Must include the word "{{required_word}}" at least once

Compose the poem within these constraints.

Then reflect:
- Which constraint pushed the most interesting choices?
- What would you never have written without these limits?
- Which constraint felt generative vs. merely limiting?
