Writing prompts work well because one can never utter, "I don't know what to write about." Prompts give guidance, like an adult holding a child's hand while walking across the street.
I immediately knew that prompts two and three did not appeal to me, which often also means "too challenging." If I really forced myself, I know that I could have written to one of those prompts and probably written something decent (if you can do something "decent" for a first draft, you've gotten a good start).
I chose to use Edwin Brock's poem as a springboard for my own.
Brock's poem---
My poem: "Five Ways of Irritating the Neighbors" (draft one)
