Choose a single moment on which to focus. It can be something small or seemngly unimportant. For example, you might write about
something you see from your window or something you did on the weekend. Start by writing a prose paragraph to describe that moment.
Change you paragraph into a poem by applying elements of poetry such as the ones Woodson does - repeating important words or lines, sentence fragments, etc.
Add more descriptive detail and dialogue.
Your goal is a poem of at least two stanzas of four to five lines each.
