How to write a simple poem — Ministry book
- Choose a topic (nature, friendship, dreams, school, family).
- Think of feelings and images (What do you see? Hear? Feel?).
- Use adjectives and comparisons (bright, quiet, as tall as a tree).
- Keep lines short (poems don't need full sentences).
- Rhyme like (cat/hat, sing/wing) — but rhyme is not always necessary.
Poetry Tip
A poem is a type of writing that expresses feelings and ideas through images and rhythm.
Excerpt from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" — Wordsworth
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
1. Choose a topic
Topic: Nature (flowers in spring)
2. Think of feelings and images
- Feeling: lonely, then suddenly happy and amazed
- Images: a cloud drifting, yellow daffodils, a breeze, trees, lake
3. Use adjectives and comparisons
- Adjectives: golden, bright, lonely, soft
- Comparisons: lonely as a cloud, flowers dancing like people
4. Keep lines short
Dancing by the lake,
Whispering trees,
Clouds above the hills."
5. Rhyme (optional)
Wordsworth used rhyme: cloud / crowd, hills / daffodils, trees / breeze
I walked alone beneath the sky,
The golden flowers caught my eye.
They danced and swayed beside the trees,
A gentle song upon the breeze.
