Close your eyes and picture yourself years ago, when you were a little kid. Let images of that time float into your mind...
Now, write a simple list poem. Begin each stanza with the line:
When I was a kid ...
and follow it with three lines, each consisting of an image [a word picture].
Here are a couple of examples:
When I was a kid at school
My teachers were all old and crabby
We sat in wooden desks with lids tha banged down like rifle shots
We kept tadpoles in a jar by the window
When I was a kid at school
I got the strap for throwing acorns at Karina Kerley
I had to sit next to a girl for a whole month!
The tadpoles grew legs.
Write for 10 - 15 minutes. Create at last 5 stanzas (or verses)
