1. What is a poem? A poem you ask? The first thing a writer must do is pick a topic. A good way to pick a topic, is to make a circle on a piece of paper. Then write different words within the circle. In this cirlce write anything that happen to come to your mind.

2. After, finishing writing down your words within the circle. Pick out the words that have some common ground. It might be a few or it might be a lot. Take your pen or pencil, and use these words on your paper in some common theme. Tie these words together to make sentences or phrases. Then you have yourself a poem. At first it may be long. If it happens to be long you need to cut some material out.

3. Read the poem first to hear how it sounds. Secondly, reread the poem to see if your poem is 10 lines or shorter. Don't be concerned about the spelling. You might have invented a new word!
