Write about the untouchable. Something out of arm’s reach, like freedom, the stars, or you.
Write an ode to misfits. A poem of praise for those who don’t belong here or there. A lyric ballad for the children of nowhere. Employ the interjection Oh at some point in the poem. Remember it can be used to capture their joy or your pain.
Write a how to poem about something mundane that most people take for granted. How to hear your mother’s voice. How to see the sky. How to trust a man in a uniform. How to breathe.
