Not everyone is a poet that is for sure and writing poetry is a the release of feelings, thoughts and emotion. If you want to be a poet, you first of all want to be a good poet and you will have to sit down in quiet and think. It must be something unforgettable in your life and when you felt emotions surging. The point is you must remember, it is not about the specific incident alone, but more importantly how it made you feel. You must try to feel the exact way you felt then while you write the poem.
If you are not in tune with your feelings and allowing emotions to stir, then you will struggle. When you reach that point, then you sit down wherever you do thinking and writing best and write whatever it is that comes to mind. It does not have to be your final draft so you must remember when you start poetry that it does not matter whether you write the beginning then an end.
What you write first can be your beginning or end if it makes sense to you. Sometimes when a person write you can feel you wrote the spelling of certain words wrong, when you write poetry however do not stop for misspelled words. Only when all your feelings are released, you will find your poem is ended. You must correct the spelling when done read it, but do not change the content or meaning of the poem. Put the date and your name at the bottom and read your poem and find the courage to read it to different people.
