Light Years In An Instant

Light years in an instant, that's how far you've come, traveler! No one knew if the theories were correct, but you are their last hope.  The Earth is on the brink of uninhabitability, and your team decided all their years of research, calculations, and to be frank, dreams and supposition, should land squarely on your shoulders.  So, through the wormhole you go, to see what's on the other side, not knowing if you have a way back or if there is even anything out "there"... 

Light Years In An Instant charges you, traveler, with creating a mission report (poem) fully from scratch using 20 cards from a standard deck, and something to write with/on. Pen/paper, keyboard/computer, your call. This is a solo game, but you can easily play with more than one person by simply taking turns flipping cards and writing your own poems with the shared prompts, then sharing them with one another after. Or pass your poems back and forth and co-write them! Just like poetic license lets you use words as you see fit, you can use this game however you see fit.
