I remember

Exercise one

This is a simple exercise that a lot of poets use to get over writer's block.  Write the words "I remember" on the first line, and then carry on writing the poem for five or ten minutes.  If you get stuck for something to say, just write the words "I remember" again and carry on from there.

 

Exercise two

Choose a place where folk mingle, like a lift, or a cafe or a classroom. Write one stanza describing each of the following (not necessarily in the same order as listed):

a woman wearing something
a man hiding something
a couple pretending
a child
something ignored
