How do I write a poem?

Question

I love writing. I love writing novels. I would like to understand poem-writing. I love to add extra poems in my stories.

Answer 1

If you want to write a poem, you need to read a hundred poems. Seriously, there is no easy answer for this than to read many poems to get an understanding for what a poem is. And like anything worth studying and doing well, just when you think you really know it, you realize you've just scratched the surface and need to read more.
I'd also recommend reading a few books about writing poems, like The Poet's Companion by Dorianne Laux and Kim Addonizio, and How To Write Poetry by Ted Hughes.

Answer 2

You can make a very good poet already. You like rhythm and meter. you like pattern and symmetry. you have poetic expression and use words consciously and deliberately. Those are the essential creative techniques.

Now try free verse style for your question:
**
I love writing.
I love writing novels.
I would like to understand poem-writing.
I love to add extra poems in my stories.

**
You see, you've got the rudimentary requirements.
With a few additional images and figures of speech, you may find you've composed a very powerful piece expressing your feelings about "love for writing"!
Just sharpen your talent and do more practice.

Answer 3

when I write poetry I usually am focused on a feeling. I always write free form (I don't rhyme well at all) and I try to get the most from every word. For good examples check out Poetry.com Poetry is very subjective, you should just sit down and start the more you do, the better it becomes. And just like writing stories you have to review & re-write! Have fun with it!!
