How to Write A Poem
Tune in to yourself. Cultivate a receptive state and allow an emotion,
event, or an impression to come into your awareness.
Notice your experience: What images, people or events were most vivid?
This is the stuff that poetry is made of!
Be curious, and playful. Go easy on yourself.
Try not to judge and let your pen dance upon the page in creative expression!
Sharing your poetry is really fun and a great way to receive helpful feedback and connect with others. You can read and submit poetry to my blog: https://www.whimsicalpoet.com
Poetry is a way to both create something beautiful and connect more deeply to yourself. Poetry is capable of bridging differences among people. Poetry says look at me I have an idea
it's bigger than the sum of it's parts.
A lot of poets have been inspired by nature, love, heartache, and struggle. Poetry focuses on vivid emotional descriptions, compelling imagery, literary techniques like onomatopoeia, metaphor, and may take the form of a type of poetry (Haiku, Sonnet) which demands a certain structure--versus free form poetry.
