Poem ideas?

Question

i wanna write one but i need help thinking

Answer 1

The poet must, firstly, find their muse (inspiration). A battery of poems could be derived off from your muse; a woman (girlfriend), a place of sanctuary, etc. Find your muse and all doors will open and ead you towards the way of the poet.

Do what Jim Morrison did. Read, read, read. Then write, then create your own style.

Write about anything and everything that amuses you; the true poet invokes his muse from any place in space or time.

Answer 2

In my creative writing class our kick starts were:

Cut words out of a magazine (my favorite)

Random words from a dictionary

Words from emails

I found it really helped me to just have these random words. It's better then starting from nothing :)

Answer 3

What did you do today?

Who is the person you admire most in life?

What event has caused you great happiness?  or sorrow?

Do you have a dream?

Once you settle on a theme, and my questions should help you get an idea, then express your thoughts in a poetic way, that is, compare your thoughts to something else, something in nature, perhaps, and use flowery, exciting, precise, or unusual language.

Answer 4

Think about what you want to write on ( topic )

It can be one topic or few

For example

The forest

write down things that occur in a forest

what is in the forest

The forest

There are trees

with leaves that are green

A person who works in the forest

is a forest ranger.

Each year the trees and grass

are perished because of fires

This destroys nature

This is an example about  a poem of the forest

You may have your own ideas

Just remember when you write a poem

It can or doesn't have to rhyme

Also do you want your poem to tell a story

narrative

It needs to come from the heart if its one of those eulogies

memoriams

A bunch of ideas here. A book version is soon coming out, so not all 100 writing exercises are listed on this, but it's a good start. And they're fun and most original. There's nothing else like them.

Answer 6

Don't write a poem that means nothing, even if it turns out fantastic, it still means nothing, who wants to write about things like rain and my trip to the super market!

Forget about writing one, sit and watch tv, read, anything, fiction, or a newspaper, listen to some music, watch a film, have a conversation, look at some art online on places like deviant art... you'll soon find something that ignites your interest and gives you ideas.
