If you want to write poetry it can help to read it. To start, choose poems at random from any anthology you have to hand. The poems read may not be modern but the deeper your understanding of these, the more likely you will be to create a poem in today’s voice.
Think about whether the poem(s) you have chosen have a particular theme. For instance, you may like poems that have some aspect of nature as their theme. The poet John Clare has a wonderful poem, I love to hear the evening crows go by.
This is the opening line of his poem and he continues The bleaching stack the bustling sparrow leaves. Having such a theme about nature in your mind, try in your own voice to write a few lines about some aspect of nature that you can see perhaps whilst out on a walk, in your garden or the local park. If you have a domestic animal or fish in a tank any of these can be included in your poem.
