Steal a first line. Open a book, any book, and use the first sentence you see as your opener. It immediately gives you a tone and a direction you wouldn't have chosen. I've gotten poems out of the first lines of car repair manuals and old cookbooks. It breaks the tyranny of the blank page and lets you play in someone else's sandbox for a bit before you make it your own.
I've found the best approach is to completely forget about trying to write a "good" poem. My block usually comes from the pressure to make something meaningful. Instead, I grab the first object I see—a coffee mug, a wilting houseplant, the weird stain on the ceiling—and just describe it in five lines. No metaphors allowed, just plain facts. 'The mug is chipped. The tea is cold.' Something about that severe limitation frees me up.
Later, I might turn those observations into something else, or I might not. The goal isn't a finished piece; it's just to get words moving from brain to page again. A poet I admire once said you have to write through the bad pages to get to the good ones, and these little description exercises are my bad pages. They're surprisingly effective at greasing the wheels.
Honestly, half the prompts I see online feel too precious. 'Write a poem about the color of longing'? No thanks, that's a surefire way to make me stare at a blank screen for an hour. Give me something weird and specific. Try writing a villanelle from the perspective of a sock lost in the dryer. Or a haiku about the sound your refrigerator makes at 3 AM. The constraint and absurdity force your brain off its usual tracks.
I scribbled a sonnet once where every line had to include a type of pasta. It was ridiculous, but by the end, I'd accidentally written something about family dinners that wasn't half bad. The silly premise tricked me into writing something real.
