Write a Limerick, it is a five-line poem in which lines 1, 2, and 5 are anapestic trimeters and lines 3 and 4 are anapestic dimeters, rhymed as aabba.

Or a sonnet preferably the Italian or Petrarchan sonnet. Or you could divide it into quatrains which is four lines in a stanza.

For a rhyme scheme, you could use something like terza rima or design your own.

I always find organization helpful when writing poetry. Use a refrain for dramatic effect if you want like the use of "nevermore" in Poe’s The Raven. Of course it could be a phrase, not justt a word.

Women come in many forms
Some are tall, others are small

I dunno, that’s all I can think of so far, but with a bit of work, it could be great.

There once was a girl from Nantuckett…I’m kidding.

Let it come from your own personal inspiration. It helps to not force it and put it away for a bit. Think about who and what moves you. Then ask yourself why.

How can I start a poem about women rights and the power women have?
My class has to write poems about women rights and the power that a woman has. I suck at writing poems so I need some help. How should I start it?
