Start in simple present, locating yourself in action.
If you need a start try : I hear dripping from my house eaves. I walk to the corner.
Shift to simple past tense bringing the present moment into a relationship with a single past moment or an event ongoing until the present. Show emotions: fear, joy, anger.
Shift back to present tense.
Write about the verb shifts and what you gained from one or the other. Did one attract more ideas? How did one feel more appropriate for use in the story or poem?
Try the same sequence shifting from first person to third person. How does this expand your opportunities? Or does it?
