Have you ever wrote a poem?

Truly said. To write a good poem, the writer must have an already decided theme or feelings within his/her soul. I was not gifted with this talent of writing poems, but my life made me write as that was the only way i could heal my pain..

I wrote my first poem when I was about 12 years old and it was actually as a kind of coincidence. I had to write a poem for a school assignment, I enjoyed that assignment and I continued writing my own poems at home. I wrote some poems and then there was a long break where I didn't write poems. When I was in my 20's I started writing poems again. Some of my poems are based on my personal experiences. They are a kind of symbolic poems where I describe something and actually talk about something else, it is a little hard to explain, but they are usually inspired by my feelings and my experiences.

After surviving 9/11 I was laid off from work so I had alot of feeling bottled up inside and home alone I was able to start writing poetry. In fact one of my poems were published in a book of poems called Spirits in Motion back in 2002. I also belonged to Poetry.com which to can have your poetry published online. I have written numerous poems which helped me get through the trauma of dealing with loss of friends and co-workers and why did I survive. I have to get back into it because I truly miss writing poetry. I feel it helps one mentally and physically when you express yourself through words on paper.

yes, feeling and emotions are too important for creating a poem , I have written poems and have a book but I have stopped writing them as I did not get any mood or feelings which will creat a poem for me.

Well, nothing but the feeling to write a poem motivated me. My friends praises my work.

yeah writing poem is actually an easy joa i wrote it once few months ago ... when i war a bit dipressed and as u said i poured all my feeling on paper .... and got it but after ugat i never tried it again.....!!!

I have written poetry in the past, not lately. I wrote mostly children's poetry and then a stray cat inspired me to write a very good poem about him. The other poetry I've written was done at a time in my life when I was severely depressed. It was rather strange and sad poetry. I haven't written anything in a very long time.

The other way is happening my life , been writing poems almost all of my life . I am not a writer but when i am so down writing then is never hard. I love to write , it is my solace , my rescue and my outlet. In there i can be me , no need to cover myself. It is where i can scream and shout without disturbing my neighbor .

I am also not too good at writing poems, and i also don't love to hear or read any type of poems. The people that motivates me to right poems are my friends, we usually take part in competitions to see who has the best... that's what motivates and encourages me to write them....

I have a couple of notebooks from years ago. I guess I was inspired by things that were happening at the time. Stuff like cheating boyfriends, doubting my capabilities, and just general teenage anger. I was what I consider to be an awkward teenage girl who only expressed myself in writing. If I were to read what I have now, I think I might've had some issues back then..

i really love to write a poems, because i am a songwriter and most of my sons came from my poems.
