Write about finding beauty in objects or places that are in a state of decay.

In this prompt, we’re challenging conventional understandings of beauty to include things that are broken, decaying or seemingly forgotten. The rusted hinge on a door, a cracked mug or a crumbling ancient monument can all hold a poignant allure. Explore these unpolished gems with keen observation and poetic language, coaxing the aesthetic appeal from objects or locations in decline.
