How to Write a Poem, Again
Dear Everyone: Thank you thank you for saying YES to poems. Meanwhile, April is National Poetry Month. Send me yours too, or put them HERE.
Many people write poems, or want to. Here’s a poem about writing them.
How to Write a Poem
If You Want To
Sit down
anywhere.
Poems
happen
standing
up but
sitting down’s
easier.
One
good
word
a way
to begin.
Lesson One
You can
start here
or over there.
First words matter.
Start better
than begin.
Where
you go
up to you.
Try to go
where you can
find your best poem
Lesson 2
You want
to write.
OK. Just
sit right there.
Don't move.
Then write
a word or two
right down.
Lesson 3
Some days
no poems.
Just wait.
