Creating: Write a poem

Reading poetry feeds the soul. So it stands to reason that writing poetry as a creative practice will be very powerful. But of course many of us think of a dozen reasons why we couldn't possibly write a poem.
I was introduced to this Chinese poetry style while in a class with theologian Kwok Piu-lan, and she managed to convince 25 of us that we could be poets with this simple but elegant framework. Try it!

This Chinese poetry style has 3 horizons: the objects—how well does the poet talk about the object, usually of nature; the feeling described; what kind of atmosphere you create.
Its form is in four lines.
Start line 1 with: "I dream …."
Start line 2 with: "And …."
Start line 3 with: "For a moment …. "
Line 4 finishes in free form: …

Example:
I dream of people singing
And shouting hosannas.
For a moment, I thought that love had wrapped us round
And we will always sing.
