Pick a sense image <i>or</i> something you can see/hear/smell happening nearby. 2. Pick (or invent) a verse form* 3. Pick a topic you feel strongly about: something important. But don't hesitate to start writing before you decide. So you might come up with: pantoum/crap game/live your dreams or sestina/flame/hero worship or plum/ghazal/social progress *One of my best poems had 5-line stanzas, and a very sparse rhyme scheme: abcd<em>e</em> fghi<em>e</em> jklm<em>e</em> - etc. This one is in three steps, and it is my Old Reliable:
