Cake Mix

Take a sheet of A4 paper and draw a large cake on it – just an outline and do not worry if it is only recognisable as a cake to you. Now write metaphors in the cake case or cake bit at the base of your cake, dill the area up. If you have drawn things like cherries or sweets put single words in these such as stars or seas. If you drew candles write verbs within, running, writing etc… The icing should be filled with concepts you would like to write poems about.

You now have a fantastic resource to use as a reference if you get stuck. If you wish you can extract the words and phrases and list them and see if any of them would go well together.
