any help?

Answer 1

Just think of a really moving emotion, or place, or person. Try describing whatever comes up to your mind on that topic that is very important for you!

I'm sure You'll write something excellent... Just don't get frustrated!

Answer 2

Try using all five of your senses to stimulate your imagination. If the first thing you notice about an object is the way it looks or smells, try going deeper and thinking about the way it sounds. A flower might be silent, but flowers rustle against each other in the wind, or a flower might seem to make a buzzing noise if there's a bee inside it. You might think of a glass of milk as something that doesn't make any noise, but when you slurp or glug the milk, all of a sudden you've got a sound effect to go with the feel of the hard, cool glass in your hand and the creamy taste of the liquid in your mouth. Think about the thoughts and feelings associated with different sense impressions -- the screaming siren of a fire engine, the friendly music of an ice-cream truck, the smell of the ocean or a campfire or fresh popcorn, the taste of salsa or curry so hot it makes you sweat, the touch of a pet's wiry or silky fur, its wet nose, its rough or smooth tongue. Using as many of the five senses as you can in a poem will help you make a strong connection with your readers or listeners. For example, if you just write, "I'm sad," all you're doing is telling somebody else how you feel. But if you describe the wet trail of a tear running down your cheek and the salty taste when it touches your lips, now you're reaching out to your audience, giving them something that they can feel themselves. Hope some of that helps.

Answer 3

Instead of sticking to a "me" voice, you can start with an observation and then build your voice into it.
Thus something like:

The kitten ran out into the street, then stopped halfway.
He strutted up to me, staring at 60 pounds of blond
fur trying to hide behind my legs.
"Oh, what a cute kitten!" I said to the woman on the curb
as I dragged the scared dog out from her hiding place.
"You want him?" she asked.
"He's going to the pound in an hour along with his
brother and one sister."

I can't help you with rhyming schemes as I am just not good at that. Most of my poetry is prose poetry like the one above.

If you must rhyme as part of the assignment, on this website you can type in a word that you are trying to find a rhyme for:

Good luck and I hope you get an "A"!

Answer 4

don't worry about sounding stupid, or not sounding good. a poem is suposed to be how you feel, and if your teacher takes off points because she doesn't "like it" tell her that a poem is not something that is right or wrong, because its expressing how you feel.

for example, and opinion can not be wrong, because its an opinion, and it how you feel about it.

just do something like


heres my me poem:

me..
i am myself.
not like any body else.
unique...

just like everyone else
but i am me


lol i know its lame, but i just thought of it off the top of my head. good luck tho!

and if you can please help me with my poem, i would love it soo much :) thanks. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
