Yep.  Read more poems.  Frost, Burns, Shelley, others.  Your style may somewhat resemble one, maybe even Poe.  \n\nPoems have emotional content and feeling when they are most memorable, so don't overlook the opportunity when situations provoke similar feelings in you.\n\nYou need a greased track of words though, something that comes with exercise of your language talents.  You will need to become a buddy of dictionaries and thesauri.\n\nTry things like describing the current weather so well that any reader instantly sees what you are seeing.\n\nSimilar exercises are possible, your dog, an unusual friend.\n\nPoems pop out kind of magically sometimes if you are a person affording them such an opportunity.\n\nLook also at the words of songs and hymns.\n\nDo your own rewrites of some of these.  Wonderful new stanzas and poems have come that way.

I write poems do to how enigmatic my emotions, and my mind is, it's so complex, and I write poems to express my feelings( when I write poems.)\n\n\nThe force of the tranquil ocean\nCalms all but one\nThese elements create a potion\nGelid harsh coldness surrounds us\nEarth relentlessly hardens\nThe only escape is on my bus....\n\n\n\nThat poem expresses many things, and has many double meanings, see if you can find them, I even made some rhymes.

I bet your poems are great. I can recommend to you Xlibris, a self-publishing company. They have this free publishing guide that you can request from their site. It's nice because it's free :) and also you can get an idea on how to publish your works.

what the hell are teachers doing these days?! making their science students write freakin acrostic poems!\n\nbut really its easy!\ntake a bunch of facts you know about cells, because in a poem for a class besides creative writing or maybe english, facts are most important. \nthen find a bunch of words that start with those letters in your lists. or just come up with words randomly and attach a fact to it. \n\nc, chloroplast, cellula, cork, convert\ne, every, enzymes\nl, likenesses, life, lipid\ns, structure, self-contained, self-maintaining\nblah blah blah

Read it. How does it affect you emotionally? Try to relate to the poem. Then, just do the grunt work of memorizing. When you get stuck, try to remember how it made you feel and that can lead you to your next line, etc.

Definitely try to include a little humor.  \n\nThe poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost might be useful to you - it can give all kinds of ideas for your speech.  You could talk about following dreams and stars, even when it is not the most usual or popular road to follow.\n\nTHE ROAD NOT TAKEN\nTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,\nAnd sorry I could not travel both\nAnd be one traveler, long I stood\nAnd looked down one as far as I could\nTo where it bent in the undergrowth;\nThen took the other, as just as fair,\nAnd having perhaps the better claim,\nBecause it was grassy and wanted wear;\nThough as for that the passing there\nHad worn them really about the same,\nAnd both that morning equally lay\nIn leaves no step had trodden black.\nOh, I kept the first for another day!\nYet knowing how way leads on to way,\nI doubted if I should ever come back.\nI shall be telling this with a sigh\nSomewhere ages and ages hence:\nTwo roads diverged in a wood, and I-\nI took the one less traveled by,\nAnd that has made all the difference.

Practice makes perfect, right? Write about topics that spark a passion in you. Learn to broaden your vocabulary so you don't sound elementary. And work on your descriptive language as well. Also be open to constructive criticism. Good Luck!

I like onewhitewhiskar's answer.  She has given you some good ideas.\n\nI would suggest you keep it simple.  Sometimes if you try to make it too convoluted or put too much in there, the writing just doesn't work.  Unless you are really good at making up stuff, don't try to get into complicated plots and stories.  Write about what you know.  Write as if you are telling a story.  Think aobut how you would tell it to someone, and then write it down that way.  \n\nOk, now stop and think for a minute.  Think about some of the most interesting or funny or different things that have happened to you.  Have you gone on a special trip?  Have you visited an interesting place?  Do you have a pet that does really funny stuff?  How about your neighborhood?  Are there odd characters?  Have you been on a boat trip?  Did your grandparents do something speical or different?  Have they ever talked to you about how things were when they were your age?  What's your favorite thing to do - do you have a special hobby you can write about?  Is there  something you know a lot about that others might be interested in? \n\nYou see, people can write well about things that are very familiar to them.  I will give you a few "starter" sentences to think about, but make up one of your own if none of these work for you.\n\n"As I walked home from school last week I saw the strangest thing around the corner from my house."  \n\n"Last summer I visited ...."\n\n"Have you ever watched .... bees at their hive .... or salmom in a stream .... puppies playing .... shooting stars ... waves on the beach ..... sailboats .... the sidewalk market on Saturday .... your brother's baseball game .... someone making dinner .... fourth of July fireworks ..."\n\n"I'm really looking forward to ...."\n\n"My best friend is .... "\n\n"The most fun I ever had was when ....."\n\n"Yesterday my dog .... "\n\nSome final thoughts ... jot down some thoughts and ideas about your topic first.  Do an INternet search to see if you get some more ideas about your topic.   \nI hope this helps you think about what you might do for your writing project.

Not just 5 lines 31 syllables, they are broken down by syllables per line:\n5\n7\n5\n7\n7\nThey focus on nature, so don't be foolish ans write about a sport or love. write about a river, or some process in nature like erosion turning mountains into sand. Don't repeat yourself, and don't use any adverbs liek "slowly" or "very".\n\nIf you wanted someone to write one FOR you, that probably isn't going to happen. Take a crack at it!
