Tips

• Do you find that you never feel inspired when you sit down to write a poem? It's a common problem, and you can solve it by carrying a notebook (some people call them Living Books) with you everywhere in which you can jot down poem ideas as they come to you. Creative ideas don't always strike at the most ideal times. Then, when you're ready to write, get out the notebook and find an idea that catches your fancy.
• You might want to listen to soothing music or look at pictures to calm and inspire you.
• Don't forget that surprise makes art (writing) extra special. If you're going to drag out the tired old 'rose metaphor' in a love poem, put your own twist on it.
• Don't give up. You'll probably find that your poems become better and easier to write as you write more of them.
• Poems can make a great gift.
• Force yourself to keep a book of your own poetry. In the future, you might be able to salvage some of the throwaways or publish your best work.
• When writing poetry, try to plan it out, using all the senses and basing it on one or two main ideas.
• Avoid cliches or overused images. "The world is your oyster," is neither a brilliant nor an original observation.
• If you are writing a poem to be sent to a newspaper or a family-friendly magazine, choose your words and topic with care. You don't want the paper to censor your original work or reject it because of profanity.
• Try to think of words that rhyme before you put them down on paper. This saves you from erasing excessively.
• Write with emotion, Emotion is a big part of poetry. If some sort of emotion isn't intertwined with the poem, it's as though you threatened your muse at gunpoint. Your reader will probably see through your forced effort.
• When you start writing poems, it may help to write a single "subject-word" in the middle of a sheet ("Love", for instance), and begin to think of words matching with the "subject-word" ("friendship" or "happiness"). When you do this before you write your poem, you already have a foundation of words you can use. This is of real value to beginners.

Listen to your poem

While many people today have been exposed to poetry only in written form, poetry was predominantly an aural art for thousands of years, and the sound of a poem is still important. As you write and edit your poem, read it aloud and listen to how it sounds.

• A poem's internal structure commonly focuses on rhythm, rhyme , or both. Consider classic styles like sonnets and Greek epics  for inspiration.
• The bulk of English texts seems to be two-syllable words with the first syllable stressed. You can more easily fit rhythmic patterns with second syllables stressed, like iambic pentameter with a one-syllable less-important word such as an article or preposition at the beginning of a line to offset a string of two-syllable words.
• This is where poems can become songs. It is easier to find a tune for regular meter, so maybe you want to cut words out or put some in to get the same number of syllables in each line. Memorize it. If you believe it, then maybe someone else will learn it and love it before it is a song.

choose the right words

It's been said that if a novel is "words in the best order," then a poem is "the best words in the best order." Think of the words you use as building blocks of different sizes and shapes. Some words will fit together perfectly, and some won't. You want to keep working at your poem until you have built a strong structure of words. Use only those words that are necessary, and those that enhance the meaning of the poem. Choose your words carefully. The differences between similar sounding words or synonyms can lead to interesting word play.

Dreams do come true

In my room
looking out my window,
see how beautiful the world is,
Thinking about the way you think,
feeling the way your heart feels,
It melts my souls,
heals my broken heart,
Tears falling from my eyes
just imagine you in the deep blue sky.
As i wonder and wonder
suddenly i smile and became a breamer
Kings and Queens have happy
ending,but deep in the heart we have
endless loving and enduring relationship.
As you shine up my day like the sun,
full my sky with stars at night
I said to my self your just right.
I love the way i think of you,
the way my body,soul,heart calls for you ,
look deep in your dark black eyes
lost in love and dream of want can become of me and you.
In my room i think of you and see that dreams do come true.

true love

Write down your thoughts as they come to you

Don't edit as you write, or do edit as you write - the choice is yours. However, you should try both methods at least a couple times to see what works best for you.
