how to write a poem

Writing a poem is all about seeing the world around you. A poem can be about anything, from a mouldy sandwich to a rusty chainsaw . Writing poetry can help you become more expressive and improve your linguistic style. However, if you're not used to writing poetry, you may be at a loss as to where to start. Poetry writing is a skill that improves with practice (just like any other type of writing).
  
here is a sample poem:
Fire                                    1. think of a topic 

Beside a flame                         2.  write a poem

burning desire                          3.  if you want you can make it rhyme

                                               tip: don't make to long or too short
inspiration 
tongue of fire

smoldering on a 
winters night

Warming sensation
glowing delight

impulsive reactions
coming in play

Smothering flames
gone the next day.
