Can anyone write a poem?

Question

Preferably rhyming, can be on any subject.

Answer 1

for the man who asked this question
I for one have this suggestion
Try to write a line or two
and show us all what you might do
it could takes us by surprise
if it showed up here before our eyes

Answer 2

any average brain functioning human can, yes. But whether it is good or not is a matter of opinion. However if you like it that is all that counts right? So many people think that the rap they hear is good and it rhymes at times, but I would not give them a dime, and I think that it is a crime to write about slime. You see I just made a rhyme and I was not even trying.

Answer 3

If you are asking us to write one for you, the chance is slim. Unless you are going to give us credit for it. I write poems all the time, some of them published, but I'm not going to let you plagurize one of mine.

Anyone can write a poem, so my suggestion is write it yourself. It's not hard at all. Just take something nearby you. A cell phone perhaps, and think of some lines about it and try to rhyme them. If you want ideas from published poets, go to www.poetry.com and read some that are published there.

Answer 4

yes a poem is a feeling, if you feel strongly about something then the words should just come out, so yes anyone can write a poem, but will it be of quality? thats up for anyones interpritation.

The quatrane(style)

A Poem To My Wife
by Oscar Wilde


I can write no stately proem
As a prelude to my lay;
From a poet to a poem
I would dare to say.

For if of these fallen petals
One to you seem fair,
Love will waft it till it settles
On your hair.

And when wind and winter harden
All the loveless land,
It will whisper of the garden,
You will understand.
