Just about everywhere you go on the planet there is grass!

Some is brown and wiry, some soft and springy, it maybe lush green and cool on hot feet, or spikey and cruel. And don’t forget we eat the stuff in the form of our cereals (rice, oats, barly). It’s roots can be a gardeners bain and some types have delicate wafty flowers.

Think on these things, think what is grass too you? Dinosaurs lived in a world bereft of the stuff and yet we have desert grass, we have swamp grass and of course we have lawns (often complete with ornimental gnomes!).

Now spend ten minutes writing about grass – just start writing don’t think too much about the process. Once your ten minutes is up look at what you got some of it maybe useful imagery for a poem – if you are lucky you may even have a first draft!
