Go to a book you love. Find a short line that strikes you. Make that line the title of your poem. Write a poem inspired by the line. Then, after you’ve finished, change the title completely.

One of my most favorite books is “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho
The line I chose is: “God has a prepared path for us to follow. We just have to read the omens he has left for us.”

Upon My Shoulders

Upon the shoulders of the man
there was a feeling firm
he thought it was a bad omen
it was his true God’s arm
He didn’t know how to react
for he was slightly scared
All he knew was God was there
and that he really cared.
