By Dawn Williams


Poems of encouragement are used to encourage people who are going through a tough time or a difficult situation. It is not something that you just dribble down rather it is something that you take time to write. Below are ideas that you can use when writing verses that can inspire people.

One of the ways of writing verses that are original is looking at the surrounding environment. You can get inspiration from anything and that can be the center point of your poem. To be able to choose something that is in the environment you have to be creative and original.

You should have your writing tools ready when planning to write an encouraging verse to someone. When ideas start to stream in, it might be difficult to be able to remember them later, thus one should have the materials ready. It could be a pen and paper, or a recording device that can be used to transcribe the information later. This will be helpful to capture the thoughts as they flow.

It is important that you keep a file where you are able to store your ideas, quotes, sketches, or art that might bring an inspiration later on. As you go through your day to day activities, you might trembled into something that is can be used to encourage others and keep it for later use. This file will help you when you finally get to the real writing.

Have a clear topic in mind and work towards it, find the one thing that is going to be the basis of your poem. This is important as one does not have to go from one subject matter to the next. The ideas should be flowing and captivating so as to encourage the reader to continue reading your poem.
