How do I write confessional poetry?

[Lockette]

Must it rhyme? I find it so hard to write how i feel in an instant without it sounding stupid and unreal, i want my emotions to come out but i dont know how and when i think theyre out i dont feel satisfied with what i've written.

Pick an event that affected you one way or another.

Write about that physical event. (Includes brainstorming every last detail you can remember) If you find rhyming comes easy once you have the guts of it out, then rhyme. It isn't required. Most confessional poets don't rhyme.

Just remember to write about an experience(and how you behaved during it), and if it is a good poem then people will understand what you were feeling.

Just let it flow.

The sooner you let go the easier your emotions will come out.
