Question

How do I write a poem about a place I have visited?

Community Answer

Start by thinking about what the place looked, felt, and smelled like. Use those memories to paint a picture of the place for your reader. Then, think about the time you spent with your family, friends, or whoever else you were with. You can talk about those times in your poem or just use the memories to come up with more lines.

Question

How do I write a poem in just one day?

Community Answer

You can brainstorm ideas on a sheet of paper (it helps to color-code the ones you like most). Then, take the idea you like most and write a few sentences about that topic. If you want your poem to rhyme, just change the last word of the sentences so they rhyme. If the sentence doesn't make sense, change the sentence so it says something similar.

Question

How do I count the syllables in a poem?

Community Answer

Syllables are how many times you have to move your mouth to pronounce a vowel sound in the word, regardless of surrounding consonants. For example, Happy (Ha-Pee) = 2 syllables. Sad = 1 syllable.

You could share it with someone who won't judge you, like a close friend, to hear what they say about it.
