What should my poem be about?

Write about how you should've been concentrating on your homework, but instead you chewed the eraser off your pencil and stared out the window. Write about when you were little; how you rescued a baby bird that fell out of it's nest and cried in bitter disappointment when it died. Write about how awfully tiring it is to chase down an ice-cream truck on a hot summer day, and how it's worth it just to taste the cold sweetness on your tongue. Write about how there's wars and famine and crime in the world...and all you care about right now is that your annoying little brother got into your diary. =P

Obviously, those are just examples, but you see what I'm getting at? It's the little things that make your life's story unique and special. It's also what makes other people able to relate to it and enjoy it all the more.

So write about what makes you YOU. Let your poem(s) be a chance for people to see the world through your eyes. And don't ever think too hard about it; write with your heart first and let your feelings flow out onto the page...THEN go back over it and tweak or revise as necessary. :-)

Good luck!

i think you should write about your EVERY DAY EXPERIENCES and how your life is and what is going on on your life i think your teacher would dig some info about you P.S. if your teacher knows a lot about you write less of your life and more of your daily experiences if the teacher knows about you a little then write about you and your daily experiences 50-50 so its even.and make sure to put some pictures.

You could write a poem about females struggling for identity, or even a man's struggle for identity. Looking at poems such as "Just for a time" by Maya Angelou and also looking at Grace Nichols work on "Fat black woman". You may want to write about war and represent it as an propaganda poem like Jessie Pope did or write it showing war being bad like Wilfred Owen did in "Dulce et decorum est".

These are just minor few themes that you may want to write it about.

-Celebration
-Death/Rebirth
-Religion
-Journey/Travel
-Love/Possession
-Power/Control

Nature makes the best poems. Try an animal like wolves or coyotes and you will know what I'm talking about here.

You should write about something you should enjoy doing, whether it be playing a sport or hanging out with friends.
