--> OK, in order to write a poem, you gotta feel strongly about the subject if you dont...where you gonna find the words and emotion from? just pick something that gets you going...and let it out Insha'Allah. Salaam
P.S @ all members...am on a smiley strike, not gonna use smilies from now Insha'Allah, jus gimme a kick if I ever do lol
Remember, a good poem does not have to rhyme, and a rhyme is not always a good poem. It's the meaning behind the words and how you express that meaning that is important.
Just my opinion, I'm not exactly the best poet, most of the 'poetry' I've written is about how bad cows are...

Why are cows bad? Can you show us an example please brother?
Don't get me started about those evil space-invader rainforest burning fascist cows...
I'm not even going to ask lol
The best advice I can give is to find a subject your passionate about. Let the words come out. Don't think about them. Then re-draft it but be careful not to lose the true meaning you wrote to begin with
Personally, I think that a true poet can't 'learn' to write poetry. It has to come from within them, all poets will know what I mean.
you mean poetry is a talent? lol
i always thought it was a skill?!
to be honest i have seen some pretty awful poetry, i think it happens when people try too hard..

Exactly, no matter how hard people try to write poetry or to understand it, if they haven't got it within them then the poetry won't be 'true' LOL if u get me...
lol I believe writing poetry is a gift... Although some aren't aware they actually posses it.
To write poetry you gotta have a good vocabulary. And if you don't have, like me here, you gotta read some dictionaries... lol I'm serious.
And as someone said, it doesn't have to rhyme. Like think about something wonderful or beautiful, and try to explain it with beautiful words and metaphors... As I said, use new interesting words, even from another language one or two, or even more.
