Now, you may be thinking that your life is not that exciting and you may not be able to see much in the way of inspiring writings coming forth from your personal experiences.
Life is THE experience.
Everyday you see things and experience things and it is these experiences that can be put into your poetry. When we think of poetry we tend to think of beautiful phrases and flowing versus. We think of windy willows and cascading mountains , the things that are usually out of reach of our everyday lifestyle. The idea is to write about things that you know, things that you have experienced, and things that you feel. Feelings and emotions are often the best source of inspiration for poetry and we can write about them well because WE HAVE experienced them.
