Poems can follow all kinds of formats, and unless your assignment tells you specifically what kind, you are free to create anything! Find the key story-telling points of your short story, the things that if left out would leave a hole in how it goes. Write down this list of points in the order they happen. You can go through each line of your list, and play with the words a little, exchange blah adjectives like "scary" with words like "horrific," "terrifying" etc. You can make the last words of each line, or point, rhyme,or alternate the rhyme to every other line. (Rhyming, by the way, is optional!) You can play with the story structure as well as the words you use to tell it, like telling Red Riding Hood from the Woodcutter's point of view, or beginning your poem with the end of the story, and going back to tell the tale. Have fun with this, you have a chance not to follow someone else's rules for once! Hope this helps:)

First think about something that makes you happy, or sad, then put it into as sentence. After that, think of a rhymining word for the last word or two words.\nBefore you know it you'll be writing a poem!

One you wrote yourself,from the heart.\nNo other poem already written,will say quite what you want to say.

Nope, sorry.  This kind of stuff just takes practice.  Figuring out how to fit stuff into the shape is part of the fun of shape poetry though.  It's not hard, I had my 8th grader do it.  Remember, the easiest way to do it is by changing the size of the words in the poem.  People don't usually think of this because 1) They think it will look messy, when it really looks pretty cool. and 2) It's hard to do it on a computer without a lot of practice, so just try it with good old paper and pencil first.  Oh, also, it's easier to start with a long poem than a shorter one, more words to work with.

Don't make you write a poem, don't force yourself. Wait a while, and keep your eyes open, let the world inspire you and then write about something you're interested in the title should come easily then

I would give you a poem but I am sure you would not put my name as the person who wrote it.  You would probably use your name as the person who wrote it and I am sure your teacher wants you to write it.  Learn from the lesson she wants you to do and write it.  If I did give you one it would be plagerized.  good luck!

I just think about the situation and relive it. Poems are meories,thoughts and fellings. If you relive it then you just write how you fell or felt. If it is an object look for small and obvious details it will help the sense what it looks like. Poetry is all about expresion and how you veiw things. Just tell them like it is. Just don't forget tone. That is a key to poetry. Also Have fun with it ,use new words, and try different styles to express it.\n\nHope it helps.\nKim

Why don't you just write an original poem then?\nBecause if you copy someone else's works it's considered plagerism, which I'm pretty sure, is illigal.\n\nBut if you are in really desperate need of a poem there are some good ones at :http://www.poemsforfree.com/\n\nAs the name suggests they let you copy their poem for free.
