Poetry is a way that helps me to express myself and my thoughts but
sometimes I feel stuck and just find myself clueless about what should I write
next. I think the same thing happens to you too but don't worry I have got
solutions to this problem. Here are some tips which will help you to get new
ideas for creating your new poems.
1. Take inspiration from other poems
I felt very inspired by a poem by John Keats called "A thing of
beauty" and was highly impressed by his thoughts. So, I also wanted to write
a poem about nature which honestly I had never written and it was a great
challenge for me. Please understand that here I am telling you to just take
inspiration from the theme of the poem like I took the idea from the theme of nature,
but don't try to copy the poet instead use your creativity to beautifully
create a poem out of your thoughts because all of us think differently and the
more you write about what you feel the more original your work appears.
2. Your favorite things
Often poets write about their favorite persons in life but why don't you
write about the other things that you like. For example chocolate, a favorite
toy, or a favorite phenomenon like the solar eclipse, etc. I have done this
several times and the best thing about this method is that since you love those
things ideas automatically flow into your mind. You can check out my poem
Aurora and Ode to the moon which I wrote out of my love for these two things.
3. Introspect
Sometimes you just need to focus on your thoughts and beautifully put them
in form of a poem because like I said earlier your thoughts are unique and
that's why they are original. Just choose a topic let's say death and now start
writing your thoughts on it, once finished create a poem out of these points. Check
out my poem Daughter of light which was based on my interpretation of light.
4. Writing prompts
There are thousands of writing prompts out there on the internet from there
you can get ready-made ideas to write poems. They are good in my opinion
because most of them have challenging themes that can help you to expand your
understanding and improve your art.
So, here were some ways which I find very useful to create my poems you can
use them too if you are unable to generate new ideas for creating new poems.
