I need some inspiration for poetry. Help??

Question

Can someone please help?

I have to write poems for school, only I'm not a very creative person and poetry just doesn't come to me.

I need some topics to write about, even some examples on what a narrative poem & a lyric poem is would be very helpful. Please help??

Answer 1

think about whats applicable to you know, the problems you have, the thoughts that are affecting you.

Answer 2

You like a poem to sound like a great wodner. I think you should write like this:

Four times A life

A great life

I cherish it

A life in this eternal internet

You will see that in the poem is the amouint of wonder and greatness you experience in the internet, 4 times your life. You are making it.

Answer 3

There's a long tradition of writing "replies" or "responses" to other poems. In the 1500's, Christopher Marlowe wrote a famous poem "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" that starts out "Come live with me and be my love". Walter Raleigh wrote "The Nymph's Reply to the Shephard" that essentially says "no, I won't be your love and here's why not".

Pick a poem you like that has a viewpoint and then challenge it. Say why your love ISN'T like a red, red rose, for example.

Answer 4
