As a Human being, each one of us have the creative powers hidden deep inside us.
This creativity makes one as Mechanic, Writer, Painter, Photographer, Sculptor, etc...

There is no hard and fast rule or any guidelines to write your poem.
It is like any other art: there is no boundary or limits to restrict your expressions.
In fact, you might invent a new type of poetry also, adding to a variety of extant poetry patterns.

LIFE is A Mystery (written by me) Life is full of Wonders Trees hidden in a tiny Seeds Rain brought in the passing clouds.
I am sure: now you are set to pen your first poem.
