Misuzu Kaneko is a Japanese children's poet, and she had a way of looking at things other people wouldn't notice or think about. She could image what is important or meaningful about them. Can you look at something around you that you've never really paid attention to and write about that thing? It can be anything: the snow, a piece of paper, the chalkboard. Look at that thing as if it were a person and write down everything you notice about it. After you've written everything down, read what you've written, and then make it into a poem with the title being the object or thing you looked at.
