The exercise:

Grab a book, magazine or newspaper and open it to a random page. Use the first word that jumps out at you as the topic of your four line poem.

Mine:

My word: Stockades

Those fools think these bars can hold me in,
Can protect them from my so-called sins;
But when they wake from feverish sleep,
They know my promises I will keep.
