First keep in mind the fact that it is not necessary to always use rhyming words to write a poem. Infact it involves the
desire to bring out your
views and knowledge of things into words that give rise to pleasant reading. However to become a poet sometime in future one must practice on
writing Rhymes as it is a better choice to begin for this matter of the desire or the penchant for writing a poem often leads to a situation where you are thinking hard for meaningfulness and to complete your poem and you are surely in a hapless situation with two or three stanzas written by you and you scratch your head; do all sorts of things and finally ending up even tearing the paper where your incomplete work is written. Creative writing is an art which could be enhanced but not taught starting from scratch. There is no course on
poetry with all the basics to mastering the art. Infact poetry cannot be taught to every person. Only to those who have some sort of talent for playing with the words. Are the ones who are definetly eligible for in the making of a poet. People born with such talent need to pay more attention on the following ten Tips:
1. Always be all alone when you try a hand on writing something.
2. Keep yourself away from all the noises and disturbances.
3. Don't use any sort of plain rough papers to write. Always keep a note book with you.
4. Writing on a note book always is helpful; where in some cases you leave an unfinished rhyme.
5. That unfinished one would be used somewhere in your new poem or a rhyme and so on.
6. It is good if you think about a topic before starting to write.
7. And when you have written a phrase and you want a rhyming word to add to it for the purpose of
Completing the stanza. You just scroll on the alphabetic order in your mind to search the words as of A,B,C,...so on.
8. Having selected the right word from this alphabetic hierarchy your stanza will be completed and so on.
9. Matching the theme of the poem with every stanza belonging to it is indeed an important thing.
10. Lastly is the process of editing and compiling the poem.
I hope all the above points may help you in some way or the other for your progress in writing a poem. Good Luck.
