How to Write a Poem…by Me

You start with a pen,

Then add some paper.                                    

Now open your eyes;

Your heart;

Your mind.

Write what you see;

You feel;

You think.

Write about a flower;

A friend;

Even this piece of paper.

Write about your love;

Your joy;

Your sadness.

Write about your thoughts;

Your dreams;

Your failures.

Write with rhyme,

With rhythm,

Or with neither.

Write a limerick;

A lyric;

A sonnet.

It can be short,

It can be long.

But with a poem,

You can’t go wrong.
