Tips In Writing Poems Of Inspiration

By Eugenia Dickerson


A poem can talk about anything and everything under the sun from love or money, life, pets, school or any other topics of the poet's choice. Coming up with a good poem can be as easy as sipping a cup of brewed coffee or can be as difficult as climbing a mountain when the ideas run out. Here are some practical tips on writing poems of inspiration that any aspiring or veteran writer can consider.

Get in the creative mood by sitting still to quite the mind and condition it to write, or by reading a good poetry book and randomly picking several lines that inspire. Try also to get inspiration from nature by watching the birds and the flowers in the park or by walking slowly around the seashore. Better yet, express your emotion and let the creative juices flowing freely from within.

Gain insights and wonderful ideas on beautiful poems from poets that you admire by reading their works or listening to their audio. There are many books available on the bookstore or local library as well as poem sites on the internet where you can check out and review. From there, you can already have inspiration on writing your very own poem of choice.

Envision your desired output for the poem and write based on this vision. For instance, you plan to express your happy feelings over a memorable event or a sad feeling over a break-up with you girlfriend or boyfriend. Keep in mind the intended audience who will be reading the poem and write as if you are speaking directly to them.

You may consider the different styles like haiku, limerick, or sonnet and the other styles available out there. You may also come up with your own style and disregard the other styles by just writing straight from your emotions. Just always write from the heart and express your real feelings within for the best poem to come out.

Bring writing paraphernalia wherever you so you can easily whatever thoughts that come out of your mind whether you are stationary or on the go. A pen and handy notebook is always useful for you to put your creative ideas into writing whenever you feel like it. You can even use you a digital notebook, tablet, or smart phone for this purpose as well.

It is also advisable to use the correct words when writing the poem so that the meaning of the output will be greatly enhanced. Concretely convey the ideas you have in mind by browsing the thesaurus or dictionary for the most appropriate word to use. Make a rich blend of ideas by checking out with synonyms and finding the best word that fits perfectly into the poem.

Enhance the meaning and splendor of the poem by using poetic devices like simile, metaphor, alliteration, assonance, and repetition. It is also advisable to utilize clear descriptions, and vivid imaginations that will appeal to the audience's senses when they read the poem. So, what are you waiting for, start writing poems of inspiration and be the best poet that you can be.
