Decide on the format and style of your poem. It can be short and sweet, long and detailed, or anywhere in between. You could even try a very specific format like acrostic, where you put the letters that spell "Grandma" in a vertical list so that each letter has its own line. Then you can use the letters to describe your grandma and/or her birthday.

Take notes on a notepad with a pencil so that you can easily erase or move things around. Make a list of personal things that you'd like to include in the poem, or things that your grandma loves. These can include memories, favorite spots or activities, or points explaining why you love your grandma.

Make a rough draft of your poem in the notepad. This will allow you to easily fix or adjust things as you go. Read your poem out loud to know exactly how it sounds and get a better idea of the flow.

Create the final draft of the poem once it is exactly how you want it. Make sure that the final presentation is neat and attractive. You can print it using a nice font or write it by hand with a pen on a piece of quality paper. Many copy stores carry decorative stationary that can be used in printers.
