That moment when you start a poem can come quite suddenly and you want to get ideas and words down fast. The idea or theme for your poem may be something you remember, or perhaps it is something you have just seen. Whatever the theme you need to jot down a few words to capture it. These may be your opening lines or they may be the title for your poem.
