At this point you may find that you are over run with ideas and can’t quite complete any one poem – this is a good place to be. Write the ideas down, the concepts and imagery.

These, once down on a page, will give you a secure grounding to build poems upon.

But everyone works in a different way so you may be finding you are still staring at those blank pages with no direction to go in. In which case here is a stark image of a signpost: where is it pointing to, why is it so forlorn?

Look at the image and write what comes to mind.

Which Way?
