Day after day

Time pass away

And I just can't get you off my mind

Nobody knows

I hide it inside

I keep on searching, but I can't find

The courage to show to letting you know

I've never felt so much love before

And once again I'm thinking about

Taking the easy way out

But if I let you go, I will never know

What my life would be holding you close to me

Will I ever see you smiling back at me?

(Oh yeah) how will I know if I let you go?

Night after night I hear my self say

Why can't this feeling just fade away?

There's no one like you, you speak to my heart

It's such a shame we're worlds apart

I'm too shy to ask, I'm to proud to lose

But sooner or later I've got to choose

And once again I'm thinking about

Taking the easy way out

But if I let you go I will never know

What my life would be holding you close to me

Will I ever see you smiling back at me?

(Oh yeah) how will I know if I let you go?

If I let you go, ooh baby

Ohh, whoa

Once again I'm thinking about

Taking the easy way out

But if I let you go I will never know

What my life would be holding you close to me (close to me, yeah)

Will I ever see you smiling back at me?

(Oh yeah) how will I know if I let you go?

But if I let you go I will never know

Oh baby

Will I ever see you smiling back at me?

(Oh yeah) how will I know

If I let you go?

How to Write a Poem: Easy Tips for Beginners

Step 1: Learn What a Poem Is

Before you can write a simple poem, you need to know what makes a poem a poem in the first place! A poem is defined as any collection or arrangement of words that expresses an emotion or idea in a more concentrated style than standard speech or prose.

Poems are typically written in verses, rather than paragraphs. They can include complete sentences or incomplete sentences and often have a rhythm. Keep in mind, poems do not have to rhyme.

 

Step 2: Understand Your Purpose

Why are you writing a poem and what do you want it to say? The purpose of your poem can dictate what form or style it should use, how long or short it should be, and the types of language you use. Are you writing for yourself, for an assignment, or for someone else?

 

Step 3: Choose a Subject

The subject is the focus of your poem, or what your poem is about. Choosing a subject before you write can help focus your mind on that specific subject. If you need ideas to get started, a poetry prompt can help.

Some common poetry subjects are:

An emotion, such as love or fear

A person, real or fictional

A place, real or fictional

A feeling, like acceptance or rejection

An object

An animal

A time

 

Step 4: Brainstorm

Start by writing down all the words that come to mind when you think of your subject. Poets and writers often imagine what other people or objects see or feel. If a poet saw an apple, he may wonder why it is there, who put it there, what the apple is thinking, or what it will become, like applesauce or apple pie.

Take a walk and try to experience every physical sense: touch, smell, sound, taste, and vision. Try to watch people and animals, and imagine their feelings and perspectives. Get silly and make up crazy stories. All you have to do is loosen up, have fun, and start writing whatever comes to mind.

 

Step 5: Choose a Poem Format

The format of your poem is influenced by the subject and tone. As a beginner, you don’t need to worry too much about style or get caught up trying to perfect a format. Choose one, learn the basic rules, and do your best to stick to them.

Step 6: Write One Line

You have your purpose, subject, related words, and a format. Now it’s time to write. Jot down one line to start. This could end up being your title, your opening line, or your last line. Take a look at the line and see where you think it falls on the spectrum of your idea.

Step 7: Write the Rest

If you use the first line as your opening line, simply start adding lines after it. If it’s your ending line, you can work backwards or work towards that line. As you write, don’t worry too much about perfect formatting. You can fix that later.

Step 8: Edit Your Poem

One of the best things you can do is put the first draft of your poem away for a day or two. Come back to it and see if you can make any improvements with a fresh pair of eyes. You may even want to get someone else to read and critique it. When you feel good about the poem, it’s done.
