HOW TO WRITE A POEM
Brought to you by ChlorineClouds

Poems. It's a simple concept, really. Just think of a thought, and turn it into writing! It doesn't have to rhyme, don't worry. Let's write one!

About... Clocks, I guess.

Clocks tell time, except for when they're broken, right? We take this idea and multiply it, having each thought slightly different.

So this is an example.

Clocks.
Broken clocks.
Broken clocks in a clock store.
Broken clocks in a timeless world.

I like the last one.

So you expand on that idea. Maybe the timeless world is just a figment of your imagination. Maybe it's a dream or something. Maybe it takes place after an incident. You could take it anywhere if you want to.

When you find your ideas and figured out a good way to write them down, just use a style of writing and formatting, and BAM! You're done!

Formats may include, but are not limited to, \\ //, <>,==,••,[].

We'll be using the book's format.

Ready? Okay.

\\

broken and destroyed

preserved in the debris

of the rubble

-

the clock strikes twelve

for the fifth time today

as it gets crushed

by the ruins

//

Was that easy or what? Now that you know how to write a poem, do it!
