There are plethora of topics for a poem like love life, special events, money, school, and practically just any other topic of choice. At times it is just very easy to write a poem when the writer is in the mood but there are times when it's very difficult to do so. The following are just some of the practical advices on writing poems of inspiration that any budding poet or expert writer can take into consideration when the ideas are gone empty.

To let the creative juices flowing like river, sit still or read a book of poems then pick some inspirational likes to start with your own. You may also watch the rivers flow, observe the birds and the trees, or simply stroll around the beach for inspiration from nature. Then open up your heart and pour out your feelings freely to set the creative mood.

Gain insights and wonderful ideas on beautiful poems from poets that you admire by reading their works or listening to their audio. There are many books available on the bookstore or local library as well as poem sites on the internet where you can check out and review. From there, you can already have inspiration on writing your very own poem of choice.

Envision your desired output for the poem and write based on this vision. For instance, you plan to express your happy feelings over a memorable event or a sad feeling over a break-up with you girlfriend or boyfriend. Keep in mind the intended audience who will be reading the poem and write as if you are speaking directly to them.

There are also many poem styles that you can choose to follow like limerick, haiku or sonnet. However, it is not necessary to follow these styles as you can always write your own free verse straight from the heart. The best poems usually come out when the writer pours the real feelings and let the creative juices flow freely in the writing process.

Always have the writing tools handy so that you can write anytime and anywhere when the idea sparks into the mind. Bring a small notebook and a pen wherever you go so you can scribble notes and pieces of your mind along the way. A tablet, smartphone, or a digital notebook can also be used for this purpose.

It is also advisable to use the correct words when writing the poem so that the meaning of the output will be greatly enhanced. Concretely convey the ideas you have in mind by browsing the thesaurus or dictionary for the most appropriate word to use. Make a rich blend of ideas by checking out with synonyms and finding the best word that fits perfectly into the poem.

It is also best to utilize assonance, simile, repetition, metaphor, alliteration and other poetic devices into the poem to further enhance its beauty. Be sure to put vibrant description and clear setting on the poem so that the audience will be appealed and can readily relate to the poem when they read it. So start scribbling those poems of inspiration and let the creative juices come out like a free flowing river.
