After reading Poems Aloud you might feel inspired to become a poet! Now it’s your turn to have a go at writing a poem yourself.
You can write a poem about anything you want, wherever you want.
Start off by noting down some ideas about the subject of your poem. Perhaps you can write about something you enjoy, an object that you can see in front of you, a hobby or a feeling you have right now!
Next, think about the poetic devices (tools) that you can use, such as:
- rhyme
- free verse
- onomatopoeia
- alliteration
Remember, you don’t have to use them all.
Most importantly, remember you might not write your poem perfectly on your first try! Spend time experimenting with different words, poetic devices (tools) and structures.
