How to Write a Poem


I'm not going to go into any lengthy article on how to write a poem. Rather, I'm just going to advise you - If you're a first time poet or still trying to understand how to write a poem, you must never take your audience for granted.

The Audience
Who are you writing for? The audience of the poem can help you choose the language, the style and the words to be used in your piece. Experiment with forms and words to find your unique 'Voice' as a poet. Read out your poem to a few of your friends, relatives, and neighbors etc., who fit in with your description of your target audience. Ask for their feedback and what they felt about the poem. Don't take negative feedback or criticism to heart - it is in fact a learning experience all the way. Try and try till you get it right.
