There are a lot of people who would like to write poems but they are not sure where they should begin.

*The first thing that you have to do is to figure out what your point is.

*Do not force yourself to write a poem when you are not feeling inspired.

*You can also choose to free write in prose first. Once you are able to come up with a few verses that you genuinely like, that is when you will know what your poem style is going to be.

*Another thing that you can do is to always read the poems of others because it will allow you to feel inspired.

*You can also read your poem out loud because this is when you will know if you absolutely love it or not.

- The first thing you should think of if you really want to write a good poem is to think of your starting point. This can be anything; it can be a phrase, a short sentence, and even a picture that fits perfectly with the theme of the poem.

-The next step you will need to take is to use few minutes of your time to think about the feelings, the images your mind is creating towards the theme of the poem. As you do this, you will be creating a body of knowledge around whatever you are writing about, so you can keep flowing immediately you start to write the poem.

-The next step is where you will need to think of your style and form as you write the poem. This is where you will need to go over the lines you jotted in the second step, and look for the mistakes you made, and how you can improve on them. Also, try to decide the tone of the poem, the kind of feelings you want it to produce.

-At this point, you might just need to draw your inspiration by reading books that will inspire you more.
-Start writing your poem even as you think of yourself as the audience.

-Try to read everything out loud.

Poems are works of literature that can be written about anything from love to social injustices. Anyone can write a good poem if they take their time and follow these simple steps.

• First, start the poem by brainstorming. This can be done by selecting a topic and jotting down ideas about the topic.

• Once the writer has an idea, they can start writing the poem by transferring those ideas into words of imagery.

• Be sure to include things like similes, metaphors, and personification to appeal to the reader.

• Once written, read the poem aloud. Though not all poems have to rhyme, the poem should flow when to read.
