What helps me to write a poem

Whenever i feel like it i'll get my poetry book out and just sit there for ages (when i have the time that is) and write down all the ryming words i can think of and make list of all the words that rhyme with each other then when i start to write my poems if i ever get stick on words that i can't think of a rhyme for then i look in my book and get ideas, try it sometime it really does work? chearyo

Yeh to me that poem does make sence, its really powerful to, does it really mean something to you or did u just get the idea to write a poem about that...

I often find that i start to write a peom which means something to me then half way through it i start writing about things that don't really mean anything to me but goes with what i've already written, ever found that with yourself?

I like that idea. It makes a lot of sense especially when you need a word or words to finish the poem.

Songs help me write

They do me, too. I was really into this one song and I noticed when I heard it I wanted to write. Could poetry ever be a conditioned response? I mean say you listen to a lot of love songs and then write a bunch of love poems. Or say you listen to a lot sad songs and then start writing sad poetry.

I avoid music totally when I'm writing. Being inspired by a song invariably means I'm going to be giving more thought to that than my own creative process.

all the things help me to write the one who made me strong and all the things that happen around me

Just thinking about everything that is involved in my life: boyfriend, family, friends, enemys, etc.

Music really motivates me. I love the way some artists put there words together and it inspire me to tell my story in a different kind of way.

some of you maytake this a cheating or something butit really helps
