How do you go about writing poetry?

[MikeySkywalker]

I don't want restrictions (such as poem structures), I just want help understanding the poem development process.

 

[tiny armidilo]

from your soul and heart you want it do things clever romantic or nursery rhyme style, what ever you do

 

[residentZA]

What's you favorite season, smell, taste etc. It comes from what you like, not to impress anyone else.

 

[xTr3ndS3ttax]

poetry is like speaking but with feeling
it comes from feelings
write how you feel today, it don't have to rhythm to become a poem

 

[i help if i can]

it's from the heart, there is no "process"

 

[Modest the Prince]

I write little ideas and words. I come from the heart when it's a really powerfully emotion poem, or I just do alot of word play and punchlines when fooling around.

I think it's one of those things that either you have, or you don't. It can't really be learned.

I just sit down and write. I prefer writing late at night (around 2:00 a.m.)
Listening to music before writing helps sometimes.

Try to think about what you never heard, and what you always wanted to say or write

it juts comes out. especially when i go through something. the words just flow on paper and come to my mind. sometimes i want to make it rhyme. sometimes i dont. sometimes iw ant to make it short. sometimes i want to make it long. depends how long it takes me to get my feelings on paper.
