BallymunPoems

The way to start writing a poem is to find a topic that interest you or a problem that people can relate to in life for example:

• Anxiety
• Homelessness
• Drugs
• LGBTQ+
• Your Home Town
• Ukrainian War

The first time I stared writing poems was when I was i was bored out of my head, Now you can start writing when you get inspiration from a poem you seen on the internet or just me like and straight out of your own head.

The poem you see above is a poem I did on anxiety, how I wrote this was I thought of words that associated with anxiety like scared or fearful, distressed, fidgety or apprehensive and I just rhymed them with other words like “scared” with “unprepared”or “sadness” with “madness” it took me about 15 minutes to write that poem.

“Stone towers people called home now and empty vast field for no one to Rome“

Poems are all different there not always the same, They could be about YOUR life issues or it could be about absolutely anything, Theres many different Types of poetry like:

• Acrostic
• Haiku (Japanese)
