Writing poetry can seem frightening.However，with the right
inspiration(灵感) and approach，you can write a poem that you can be proud to share with others in class or with your friends.
A poem might start as a piece of a verse，a line or two that seems to come out of nowhere，or an image you cannot get out of your head.You can find inspiration for your poem by doing writing exercises and using the world around you.Once you have inspiration，you can then shape your thoughts into a poem.
You may also be inspired by going for a walk in your neighbourhood or to your favourite spot in the city.You may observe people on a park bench or in a public square and use moments from your observations as the inspiration for a poem.You could try writing a poem about a person who is important to you in your life，such as your mother or your best friend.You could use the person as inspiration for your poem.
You can start your poem by focusing on a specific (特定的) theme or idea that you find attractive or interesting.Picking a specific theme or idea to focus on in the poem can give your poem a clear goal or point.This can make it easier for you to limit what images and descriptions you are going to use in your poem.For example，you may decide to write a poem around the theme of “love and friendship”．Y ou may then think about specific moments in your life when you experienced love and friendship as well as how you would characterize love and friendship based on your relationships with others.
There are many different poetic forms that you can use，from free verse to sonnet to rhyming couplet.You may go for a poetic form that you find easy to use，such as free verse，or a form that you find
more challenging，such as sonnet.Choose one poetic form and stick to that structure so your poem feels cohesive(连贯的) to your readers.

Don't give up
by Phoebe Gary
If you've tried and have not won ，
Never stop for trying ；
All that's good and great is done
Just by patient trying.
...
If by easy work you beat，
Who the more will prize you?
Gaining victory from defeat，
That's the test that tries you.

2．要主题明确，语言通顺、连贯。

_______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ 答案：
Having read the inspiring poem Don't gi v e up written by Phoebe Gary，I have had a better understanding of failure.
I like the part “Gaining victory from defeat” very much in the poem.There is no doubt that everyone can meet with failure.What it matters is the attitude towards failure.As the old saying goes，“Failure is the mother of success.” We can learn f rom failure which helps us understand our weak points.
Therefore，we shouldn't be afraid of failure.We should regard
failure as a road leading to success.What's more，we should never give up no matter what happens to us.。
