how to write a poem

The first step is to write down the idea you'd like to see as a poem. After that, turn thought into a free verse poem. There exist two different types of poems: structured and free verse. An example of a structured poem is a limerick. Free verse is easier to write because there are no steadfast rules to writing them. Some free verse doesn't rhyme or have meters to them. Meter is defined as a rhythm in verses, or a pattern of syllables.
