Something my wife introduced me to was "firsties" - someone provides you with an opening line or two and you finish it off. I can't say the few I wrote rank among my best work but it gets you moving and that's all you really need.
Here's one I was given only I cheated and made it the poem's second line:
I can't believe it's almost Friday and I need to put together another cat post. Boy, those Fridays roll around in a hurry. (You don't hear anyone saying that very often!)

the astronomy of footprints
Have a go.
thanks! : )
i'm thinking...
untitled
the astronomy of footprints
leaves black holes
the thin tissue rips
from the tread of gods
almost forgotten in the new fabric of civilization.

before anyone listens.
Works every time.
thanks again. : )
