Poem Ideas

Poem ideas for free! Take them and make them your own. Some of these are bits of verse, others just a good title, and others just ideas for a process or type of poem.

Verses answering each other. A poem with two voices alternating from one stanza to the next, each with it's own personality, yet together creating some sense.

Dream poems. I have had some fun by trying to make dreams into poems.

Eight Beer Poem. That's the title. The first stanza is written after a beer, the second after another beer, and so on. Might be humorous.

A Poem For Six A.M. That's could be the title. The idea here is a collection of poems, one for each waking hour of the day.

Poetry By The Mile. Again, that might be the title. In this case, the poems follow the course of a trip. Let someone else drive as you write. The title could also be "Mile Marker 234" and such.

Use the same words over again. The gimmick here is to use all the same words for each stanza in the poem, but in a new way for each.

Poetry using song structure. Choose a song you like, remove the words and lyrics to get at the underlying structure. Use that to write a poem. Actually, if you imagine the tune as you write, it tends to inspire better word choices.

Poem Ideas - Starter Lines And Stanza Bits

Forget your churches ... They are cages for God ... That capture only humans...

You who stood before your fathers eyes...

We secretly hope that birds will never learn of God...

The alarm clock cannot defend itself...

Dreams are lined up against the wall...

In a world where opinions are wealth...

Deep within my soul I am shallow...

I hate this life so deeply ... Almost as deeply as I love it..

Words are paper roses and magazine cover skies...
