God is Good to me

I am lucky to be free
As I admire the blue sky, through the tree

Welcome to AMHD but this is the introductions section. You need to post your question on the appropriate topic.

It will probably be moved.

Hi caroh! Yup, you need to find a more appropriate area. I think the topic 'Writing' is your best bet here.

Poetry is not really my area, but I feel that to write a good poem, you have to have something to say. Poetry is not about just writing stuff that rhymes, it's about expressing a strong idea in the most perfectly chosen words you can find.

Try writing your basic idea first, before you even think about rhyme or rhythm. Be as honest as you can, even though it can be tough exposing yourself on paper like that. Then start polishing it, and be prepared to cut out a lot of the stuff you like if it doesn't contribute to what you need to say.
