First, start with inspiration. Look around you and find something that sparks your creativity. Second, choose a form. Choose what type of poem you want to write. It could be conventional or free verse. Third, brainstorm ideas. Write down words and phrases that relate to your inspiration. Fourth, craft your first draft. Use your brainstormed ideas to create your first version of your poem. Fifth, edit and revise. Read through your poem and change the unnecessary words if needed. Lastly, once you are done and happy with your work, you can share it with your friends, family, teacher, or post it online.
