2.  Try free-writing in prose first (that’s regular sentences and paragraphs)
3. Pick and choose from what you wrote and/or start making line breaks where you think it makes sense.
4.  Play around with the words, wording, line breaks, punctuation, spacing, etc.
5.  Stuck?  Take a break and read some poems by other poets for some ideas or inspiration and try again.
