For many of us, spring is the perfect season to stop take a break and harvest inspiration for the rest of the year. One of the tools we like to use to help inspire and excite us is poetry. Whether you’re chilling in your Arrive Buckhead apartment or hard at work in Atlanta, Georgia, take some time to gain inspiration by writing a poem.
We found many different websites with instructions on writing different forms of poetry. We love this guide by wikiHow, which shares tips like writing exercises and picking a theme, and offers a variety of poetry examples to read and learn from.
After looking online or reading the above guide, you still might feel stumped when it comes to the actual process of writing a poem. We found a clever Poem Generator that we really like. Simply select the form of the poem that you’d like to write, fill in the blanks, and then watch the magic of poem generation come together. Here are a few examples of the poems we’ve created using this tool:
The Shiny And Old Watch
A Poem by The Blog
Whose watch is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite sad though.
It really is a tale of woe,
I watch her frown. I cry hello.
She gives her watch a shake,
And sobs until the tears make.
The only other sound's the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.
The watch is shiny, old and deep,
But she has promises to keep,
Until then she shall not sleep.
She lies in bed with ducts that weep.
She rises from her bitter bed,
With thoughts of sadness in her head,
She idolizes being dead.
Facing the day with never ending dread.
With thanks to the poet, Robert Frost, for the underlying structure.
Frog - A Haiku
by The Blog
Sunshiny old
A common, tiny frog drives
at the perfect dog
