Question

I have never had trouble writing a poem but I'm just not sure what to write about. I want to keep writing about the same as I have been but I have made a lot of poems already and want to do something different.

Answer 1

So does anyone have topic ideas?

Answer 2

and I can write a different type of poem as well. Please give suggestions! (haiku, free verse, odes, rhyming, etc)

Answer 3

@MakaylaTracy @ispike

Answer 4

Answer 5

Alright. That's what I usually do. Topic idea?

Answer 6

A runaway girl trying to find what she was brought in to this world to do

Answer 7

Hmmm. Very interresting but I think it will work. I will post what I make her. Then you can help me make it better.

Answer 8

sure

Answer 9

Think this is a good start:
Why am I here?
the question
is always in my mind
always making me feel odd.
But
how do I find my purpose
when I am here?
I must escape.
I have to get away.

Answer 10

I don't like it. It just reads oddly.

Answer 11

You really have to read it more than once before you get the flow of the words. But if I change it, it's like a story, not a poem

Answer 12

okay take the question out it makes it seem less of a mystery

Answer 13

Ok. I like the last two lines. Maybe I will start with those. Think that would read better?

Answer 14

yes it would

Answer 15

Alright.

Answer 16

Here's a new start:
I must escape.
I have to get away.
I'm just a girl
in a big, big world.
I want to make a difference.
I need to go.
I need to find why I am here
and what my purpose is.

Answer 17

I like that a little better for a start.

Answer 18

Of course the poem is going to get much longer. But should I just leave it short? If I make the poem tell her whole story, then it might get too long. So what if i leave it like that^ and let people use their imaginations to think f the rest of the story. Like where she is, her situation, where she goes, what she does. Do you like that idea?
