How to Make a Poem Interesting

If you have ever written a poem before, then you must understand that you must allow your imagination to grow wings and take flight.

A poem, no matter how descriptive it may be, is not to be used to state the obvious. We all know that the grass is green, for example. What you need to express in your poem is what you felt when you saw the green grass.

What emotions did it evoke within you?

What were you going through at the time and how did seeing the green grass change or enhance your feelings at that moment of time?

With your words, you have to convey what you feel or felt. The readers have to understand the depth of what you were going through. A poem is essentially about the emotions of the poet. A way to get past the barrier of writing about emotions is to take ordinary things from your daily life and write down whatever 'feeling' words come to your mind when you see the object. Such a list will come in handy and is a good way to practice.
