There are tons of poem starters to try your hand at, but these poetry prompts hope to assist you in thinking of new and purposeful ways to set up your poem for success!

Found poetry is one great start. This technique involves taking words, phrases, and other pieces of writing and picking out the most influential, creative, inspiring words and phrases and formatting them into a poem of your own creation. There are many different ways to create these poems, ranging from using magazine clippings to picking out snippets of celebrity sayings and jumbling them all together into one impressive poem filled with a sense of spontaneity. These poems require thought, of course, but they come off as spontaneous, as they pick and choose words and sayings to make them come alive.

Poetry by numbers is another intriguing way to do creative poetic writing. It keeps you on your toes, as you are constantly thinking of or looking for cliches, idioms, and other catchy words and phrases that will instill in your poems a sense of imagination and versatility. You will always be thinking up new "numbers" and phrases. This poetry prompt is sure to help you along as you come up with more and more ideas for poems!

Acrostic name poems are another way to get started writing poetry. Think up new words and phrases to get you started with this concept, and you're on your way to new and exciting writing in no time. Also, hyperbole poems will have you considering how hyperbole and personification can fit into the writing that you are longing to create.
