I want to write a poem, but can't choose a topic. Any inspirational suggestions?

Question

If I can actually write an acceptable one from one of the given topics, I'll post it later for suggestions / criticism

Answer 1

Write a poem about how you don't know what to write about. I write poems too technically I rap. And when I don't know what to write about, I write about whatever comes to mind and just expand. And then I end up having a great "poem".

Answer 2

Draw a bubble chart of a single idea, then draw other bubbles connected to that with related ideas... before you know it you'll have a map to whats going on in your head artistically.

Answer 3

a day in your life

Answer 4

whatever is in your heart

poems just come to me

Answer 5

Answer 6

Well if you have nothing inspiring you to write now, go through some of the top news stories and see if one catches your eye. (dont get too specific, but it might help you out, give you some emotion, i know it does for me)

Answer 7

The strongest emotion you feel Right now. Love, hate, boredom, whatever.  

Answer 8

Try listening to music.  sometimes it inspires me.  But also, don't force it.  You kind of have to wait until inspiration finds YOU. =)

Answer 9

a mechanical clock under a moonlit sky with wet cobblestone underneath

like how the clock ticks and how it works

Answer 10

write about how u feel or what u see about life , love. pp, etc.

Answer 11

My suggestion would be to read "old fashion" poems. My personal choice goes to "Les Fleurs du Mal" ("Flowers of Evil) from Baudelaire. I think everyone should be able to connect to at least one of the poems from the book, thus inspiring you.

Here is a link with the poems both in French and English.
