People tend to think that to be a poet you must be one of those deep thinkers, but all of us can be poets if we have creativity! After all, poems are creations of our minds and our experiences.
If you are still clueless and you think that you could never write a single poem, below are some inspiring tips to awake the poet in you:
Read
Read other poets work and observe how they write. You don’t have to read heavy stuff as there are also writers who write simple and easy-to-understand poems. Start with simple ones to get into the flow of poetry.
Write
If you don’t try you will never know so the next best thing to do is to pen a poem yourself. It could be long or short but start working on your poem. You could also keep a journal for your poems.
Get Feedback
After writing your poem get a friend, or better still a poet, to give you feedback on your work. Ask them if they like it and if they don’t, ask them why. By doing this you will be able to know how well your poems are able to communicate with others.
