18. Try these exercises for ideas, and express them in a poem.

Start by listing moments or days i your life that you associate with some feeling. An one of these moments may provide that spark, that connection between outside events and inside feelings that may lead you to a poem.

1. You learn that your family is moving to another city and you know you'll have to give up friends and neighborhood and everything familiar.

2. Your grandmother has died and you realize you'll never see her face again or open the birthday and Christmas presents she never failed to send.

3. You smile at someone you life a lot, and you see that person looking back and smiling at you.

4. You go back to your old playground and find that all the kids there look so young.

5. You have a wonderful dream.
