When we think about writing poems or understanding poetry, we often think that it's hard to do so. But nothing could be further from the truth. If__you__think__about__it, __you__will__find_you__have_been_listening_to_poems_for_most_of_your_life.

Are you a fan of the latest pop group? Do you like to listen to music? Did your mother ever sing a song to you as she tried to get you to sleep? You see, songs are just poems set to music. They have both the wonderful words of poetry and the sweet sound of music to go along with.

Writing poems is not really all that hard. Through writing poems, you learn how to use a language well. You have to use your imagination. You have to choose the best words to describe exactly what you feel or what you see. You might be trying to describe a beautiful sunset. You think that the words “melting in the distance” or “dropping quietly against the sea” would be a good way to describe it. You have to decide either the first phrase or the second phrase would be better. Would you like to write a poem? Go ahead. It's really not that difficult.
