When asked to write a poem, it is important to keep some things in mind. While poems do not need to rhyme, they are generally melodic and pleasing to hear. They also tend to express new ideas, deep feelings, or perspectives that are personal or special. This is an example of a poem about life:
<em>I look outside and I see the sun,</em>
<em>I can't wait to go out and have fun.</em>
<em>My smiling friends are waiting for me,</em>
<em>And just thinking of them feels me with glee.</em>
<em>I can't believe that I have so much luck,</em>
<em>the happiness in my life leaves me awestruck.</em>
<em>While many people choose to complain and moan,</em>
<em>I chose to love my life and give thanks for I am never alone.</em>
