PAD 23-3 Instructions


How to Unstick When Your Stuck

How to write a poem
when you’re stuck for ideas.
Set your timer for ten minutes.
Write about being unable to write a poem.
Write about having too much to do.
Write about being too tired.
Write about your muse going on vacation.
Write about what’s around you
like a couch covered with blankets and coats
and a small throw pillow saying,
“My family tree is full of nuts.”
Write about the yellow and black wheel chair,
the rocking chair with a thick cushion,
so your hubby can get enough umph to stand.
Write about the headband and headphones
and a reminder note to help at the nature center.
Write about your kindle,
a glass full of fruit drink,
and one half full of water.
Write about your mug rug
that a friend gave you
to put your cup of tea on.
Write about your timer.
And when it goes off your poem is done.
