Life keeps everybody busy and there are always lots of items on our to-do lists, but we all get bored once in a while. There are a number of ways to spend your time, and writing poetry is one of them. In addition to filling up those spare moments, writing poetry allows you to create personal works of art that will forever hold a place in your heart.

Whether you’re writing poetry inside one of our apartments in Alachua, Florida or you’ve gone to the park to be inspired by nature’s beauty, here are some tips to consider:

• Write down your thoughts, emotions, what you see, what you hear, and even what you smell.
• Try organizing similar thoughts and see how they can work together to create a piece.
• Don’t focus too much on making you poetry rhyme. Instead, just write what comes naturally and focus on how your words fit together as a whole.
• If you’re feeling extra witty on a given day, try your hand at writing a funny poem.
• Though some forms of poetry such as sonnets and limericks have defined rules, poetry is supposed to be an expression of your emotions and feelings, and you can create it in whatever form works best for you.

You never know where writing poetry can take you. You may discover a hidden talent and wind up being the next Shakespeare, Robert Frost, or Shel Silverstein.
