Tips In Writing Poems Of Inspiration
By Eugenia Dickerson
A poem can talk about anything and everything under the sun from love or money, life, pets, school or any other topics of the poet's choice. Coming up with a good poem can be as easy as sipping a cup of brewed coffee or can be as difficult as climbing a mountain when the ideas run out. Here are some practical tips on writing poems of inspiration that any aspiring or veteran writer can consider.
Get in the creative mood by sitting still to quite the mind and condition it to write, or by reading a good poetry book and randomly picking several lines that inspire. Try also to get inspiration from nature by watching the birds and the flowers in the park or by walking slowly around the seashore. Better yet, express your emotion and let the creative juices flowing freely from within.
Gain insights and wonderful ideas on beautiful poems from poets that you admire by reading their works or listening to their audio. There are many books available on the bookstore or local library as well as poem sites on the internet where you can check out and review. From there, you can already have inspiration on writing your very own poem of choice.
Take also into consideration the planned output of the poem that you envision and take it from there. For example, if there is a special happening or a sad event that you want to write about, then be free to express your feelings through poem. Write from the heart like you are directly communicating to your intended audience who will be reading the poem later on.
You can consider the different styles like sonnet, haiku, or limerick, or sonnet. You mayor also do your own style that you like best and ignore all the other styles out there. Just keep your heart open and let your emotions flow generously as you write the poem.
Always have the writing tools handy so that you can write anytime and anywhere when the idea sparks into the mind. Bring a small notebook and a pen wherever you go so you can scribble notes and pieces of your mind along the way. A tablet, smartphone, or a digital notebook can also be used for this purpose.
It is also advisable to use the correct words when writing the poem so that the meaning of the output will be greatly enhanced. Concretely convey the ideas you have in mind by browsing the thesaurus or dictionary for the most appropriate word to use. Make a rich blend of ideas by checking out with synonyms and finding the best word that fits perfectly into the poem.
You may also use metaphor, repetition, simile, assonance, alliteration, and other poetic devices to further enhance the beauty of the poem. Be sure to use vivid imagery and understandable descriptions so that the audience can readily relate to the ideas that you try to convey to them. So get your writing tools and begin scribbling poems of inspiration today.
