Poetry is an interesting form of writing. It is very free,has few restrictions and can be a great way to express feelings.  Writing a poem is all about observing the world within you or around you.

To write a poem,first you should begin with an idea or inspira?tion (灵感) . Inspiration may come at any time unexpectedly. It may be a specificperson,place or thing that causes some sort of strong emotion. It may be more of an abstract idea or release of emotion.

After getting the idea,you can write down everything that comes to mind. Don't think much and let all feelings pour out. Remember everything can be thrown out later.

Then you can think about its form and begin to organize thoughts. Poetry comes in many forms,from epic (叙事的) poetry that has a story to dramatic poet?ry intended to be performed. Try them all out. One will come naturally. Maybe different poems fit different forms. When you write a poem,think about both me?tre (韵律) and rhythm carefully,which are equally important in poetry. Metre is the fixed pattern of the poem,while rhythm refers to the sound when it is spoken. It is also important to use a lot of descriptive words. Create imagery (意向) with words,trying to make them attractive to all the senses. For auditory (听觉的) in?terest,try repeating of similar sounds in a sentence or a phrase. All of this adds life and interest to a poem.

After you finish your work,don't be afraid to share your work with others. When others point out your weakness,accept and grow from it.
