It's easy to forget ... writing a narrative poem can help you get started

It's easy to forget how
much the light
changes,
how brisk the
air becomes

how summer
greens and wax
beans get squashed
in the mashing of
buttercup, butternut ...
and blue hubbard, too

how apples and
pumpkins now vie
for the pie

and a warm bowl of
soup makes me slurp,
sip, and sigh

If you're struggling to write, try a short narrative poem like the one above. Short lines with lots of detail can help you put your thoughts into words.

Focus on word choice, and for fun, throw in some rhymes. If you're stuck, grab a thesaurus or a rhyming dictionary and see what comes up.
