How to Write Poetry

If you've ever wanted to write poetry, but are unsure as to how, check this out.

When you write poetry you must spill all of your emotions on to the paper. Start off with some sentences to tell how you feel. Write everything you can down. Next off find some better words for the usage. At the end of it you could even try to rhyme them.

Start off with a feeling like luck.
Jot down a few sentences about luck and how you feel about it.
Try making it funny if you like the comical poetry.
After that you should find some better words.
Then try to rhyme them.
Here is an example of a poem about luck.

Lucky people have lots of money
They can buy lots of honey
And their poop is never runny
Their so happy they hop like a bunny
Also their days are always sunny
Try to make your poem sound funny

I am not you for it is a feeling one experiences in life.
Sometimes it comes out of nowhere . You do not know it is going to happen to you. One day he comes in your life only to watch you fall deeply into his arms. Sometimes it is the other way around.
It can be crazy watching two people make fools of themselves trying
it.

"Their so happy they hop like a bunny"

They're, not Their. Please...

I echo the comments of both 'butterfly35' and 'Rohaa'! Not that I agree with anything you said, but what credibility you have/had as a 'writer' went out the window with that "Their" spelling mistake LOL... at least spellcheck your work seth, and don't presume to be in a position of authority until you can write better than "their poop is never runny" ... ALSO... why should one try to make their poetry sound 'funny'? A most ridiculous comment.

Well, I like funny poetry, so I made my writing like that. Just look at my other poetry stuff... You might find it "funny". Sorry for the minor mistake of "their" instead of "they're".
