Describe in great detail your favorite room, place, meal, day, or person. You can do this in paragraph form.
Now cut unnecessary words like articles and determiners (a, the, that) and anything that isn’t really necessary for content; leave mainly nouns, verbs, a few adjectives.
Cut the lines where you see fit and, VOILA! A poem!
Dorm Room
Small enough to be a jail,
large enough to house two men
and their equipment. She
turned her head to see
television displaying pictures
of sitcom actors arguing.
No sound, except for
country music twanging
in the background, the bed
shaking like a sick child.
All she heard
was Taps being played ... gently
keeping her cool,
wincing at every thrust
every push
shaking the bed more and more.
