    Gem is right - You can write a poem about ANYTHING. Pick any object, and write about it.

    Close your eyes and write about the first thing you see or the first word that you think of.

    I think u should write a poem about a certain time in your life. it can be bad or good. something you remember.

    X)) Lol, I think something sad will do good. Or maybe I should just bang my head on a wall and a topic will come up?

    Something sad? Try a droplet of rain and relate it to a tear.

    Obviously a bit more extensive and delving than that, but as a basis that could work.

    Try writing about someone you once loved and they had no idea, that's happened to me lots of times. if that hasnt happened 2 u, try writing about a big thing that just happened in your life, whether good or bad

    Try writing a love poem about someone you have feelings for but they have never known. That will always carry emotion and put forth more ideas to write about

    I can't think of anything either. Turn on music, no lyrics, and picture a music video for that song. Write about the scenery in the music video. Just an idea, though.

    Greetings,
    Not sure if this will help (there are so many topics on individual topics posted elsewhere, but I believe this is the most broad and inclusive) it's quite lengthy but it covers a variety of topics and has input from many P&Q members. It is not meant to tell you how to write, but to be a place of reference/help/advice to others-a place where many of the questions put forth repeatedly in these forumns is addressed, mainly to offer suggestions on writer's block (tips/exercises to break it. Inspiration, ideas, etc.), exercises to spur creativity (whether form, style, type of poem, content, etc.-just some stuff to try when blocked or to try something different), various poetic terms/definitions, a variety of basic stuff and technical stuff, submissions and poetry markets (where/how to submit your work) and perhaps some stuff to improve/expand your writing/poetry and understanding. So hopefully there is something here for everyone. Worth sifting through(I hope). I would also appreciate any comments-whether opinions or advice (personal or technical), your own personal writing habits, etc.

    If it's easy for you to make up stories, then do what gem told you to. Write about anything! But if not, then write about yourself. Write about your life or something. That's something you don't need to make up. Or then, write about what would you like to be. Or......

    Yh well that's all I can say. There're an endless amount of things to write about.

    Good luck! :)
