I used to write poems. I was in 4th grade, so I just wrote for fun. They didn't have any figurative language or symbols. My only goal was to make them rhyme. Here is an example of one of mine: > The topic was risky > The judge wasn’t blank, but picky. > > My stomach was getting really funky, > My mind was full of question, > And when my belly was acting like a monkey, > I was full of tension. > > Then it all struck me, > Just like an earthquake, > I wasn’t making a single mistake. > The idea was as easy to find as in my pocket, > The idea was obviously Sonny Crockett! Now that we have read Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe, I know there is a lot more to writing a poem. For it to be a _good_ poem. So, I decided to write poems again, but it is really hard for me to think of a symbol, _and_ put it into my writing without revealing too much, so I can let the reader infer, but revealing enough. My question is: How can I give my poems more depth and symbolism?
