This form is called the big ten. Write 10 lines, ten syllables for each line. Use any kind of meter, rhyme or subject.
Use this form and write a snapshot poem.
Example:

North Texas summer, honeysuckle sweet
long days bright with all possibilities.
Adventure, swimming pool mermaid, chlorine-
scented hair, flowered swim cap like Esther.
Baby oil and iodine, sun worship
confession, movie magazines, real life.
Reading for hours, living other lives
Saturday morning movie theatre
Let's pretend, all the way home, jungle queen
wearring crinoline and penney loafers.
Your turn, pick a day, put a poem in comments, have fun with it.
