Simple poetry

Here’s a nice and simple exercise to get the creative ideas flowing. And all you need is a piece of paper and a pen or pencil.

1. write a word on the centre of a piece of paper
2. around this word write ten others that are related
3. use these words in a poem, or piece of prose

Very simple and a quick exercise that can be done at almost anytime – not that I would advocate such a thing in the middle of a long meeting at the office.
