I Don't Know How to Write a Poem

Question

I can't write poems, so I'd just kind of make arbitrary phrases to make my poem.

These eyes, when are they going to sleep
These wounds, when are they going to heal
Emotions, where do they collect to form a heap
Indifference, should they ever morph into zeal

Young, naive, and subordinate, as you've said
Inexperience, full of dreams, putting me down
Contempt, hatred, remember the color red
That's what shall flow when my enmities frown

...I'm sleepy, tomorrow again...

I think you can write poems however you want! Poetic license!

Just do your best and use natural expression!

I will write here what I wrote on the cover of my recently published poetry book:
"Dear reader,
this volume was a surprise.

It says that we have to learn:
to use the Windows,
to hunt, to fish,
to see the colours,
to walk straight,
to wait for the tram,
to close the gate,
to give shots,
to plough, to harvest,
to feed babies,
to learn, forget,
to score a penaly,
to sleep in fresh snow.

Love and poetry just exist.

What's the name of your poetry book?
Could u give os a sample of one your favorite poems, please?

Radrook · Answer

Enjoyed the read.
Liked the symbolic imagery "red" and personification "frowning emnities"
I also liked the shift of tone in the last stanza and the poem's enigmatic last line.

I have a poem I have written a poem for a girl I like but i'm too afraid to tell her.

Roses are red. Violets are blue.

Your eye's shine like the midnight moon

You smell like a field of blooming junipers in June

I am the looney toon to your cartoon

Just like your the wave that rocks my boat

You are the coconut in my coconut tree

I am your King to you my Queen. by:chris campbell

hI chris I'm not much of a pem writer myself but I honestly think I could have done much better than that.

. Just kidding but its really a nice poem but by reading the poem its like I could have guessed you age. I maybe wrong and maybe right but O think you're like 14-15. If so that explains it all. I'm 17 years old and female, and to give that kind of pem to a girl will be humlating. Girls like to show off what ever a boy gives tham do make it creative. I can tell you this if you really like this girl the way you say then take you chances and just tell her. You never know she might feel the same exact way about you. Life to short to be wasting so live everyday like its you last. Remember the life is full of risks and to make it in this world you have to be a ridk taker. All in all I;m just trying to say take your risks before its to late. If you shall ever be with this girl do her right and don't break her heart. I girls heart id a precious thing so cherrish it with all your might. By you doing her wrong you' re only making it hard for the next. Gooluck

With more pratice at wrting poem I think you will be very good can't wait til you post another one
