Poetry doesn't have to be rhyming, or about something profound. It can be simple, or have no meaning to anyone but you. If you want to give it a shot but don't know where to start, try a new spin on how to create them.

• A poem composed of nothing but questions. Does it end in a realisation, or another question?
• A series of connected short verses that tell a story, describe or explore something.
• A poem where the structure mimics the subject - a piece about trees in the shape of a tree.
• A poem where each line starts with "I remember".
