How to write a poem

Writing a poem is harder than it looks

It involves some skill, some talent

or maybe it doesn't

who

am I to know?

Try writing a story, a sad story,

a happy one

Center it and change it to a

lyrical prose

Then poof

You have a

poem

Now you have to title it

think of something

unique

interesting

wow

or, if you like,

you would just call it something completly

unrelated

it adds

drama

mystery

to your

poem

change the lengths of the sentences

long and flowing and wondeful

short

choppy

then change your writing

normal

italics

underlined

or even a mix

Then sign it with your name

your initials

a sign

something

rememeber that the ending is

crucial

it draws everything together

zipping it up like a

zipper

zip

time to zip it up

start slowly

wind it down

and

then

let

it

trail

off

into

the

distance
