POETRY OR STORY STARTERS  #1

Below is my first list of prompts for writing poetry.  I think I got this written in a journal back in January.  That was when I realized I was writing poetry wrong without rhyme, meter or rhythm.  I don't rhyme anyway, but I didn't know that poetry had to have meter or rhythm even if it is free verse.
So, one day, I got one of those cheap grocery store notebooks and started writing all this down while my boyfriend was seeing the eye doctor.  In the waiting room, I was pumping out words.
So for a few weeks, these pages had been torn out of the notebook and were messy and the written notes were also in a jumble.  So, now I have finally typed them into here for my reference and for anyone else.
Feel free to borrow something and then to go off on your own wild horse.  They will be here for me too to come back to.
And who knows what I might come up with for this.
