Sad poem guide

To write a sad poem that focuses solely on the emotions, try the following steps:

1. Define the emotion you want to convey. This could be grief, heartbreak,
sadness, or any other emotion that you want to evoke in the reader.
2. Determine the root of the emotion you want to explore. What caused the
sadness? Was it a breakup, the loss of a loved one, or something else entirely?
3. Use imagery and vocabulary that convey a sense of sorrow and loss. Use
language that paints a picture in the reader's mind, such as dark colors, rain, and
other elements of the natural world that can evoke feelings of sadness.
4. Consider using repetition and rhyme to create a sense of rhythm and flow,
and to emphasize words and phrases that are particularly important to the
emotion you're trying to convey.
5. Make sure to end the poem with a clear resolution. This can be a final note of
acceptance, or a glimmer of hope for the future.

Here's an example of a simple sad poem:

Grief

The sky is dark


Like my heart tonight
A heavy rain falls
My tears join the downpour

My love is gone
Leaving me alone
I walk the familiar paths
But they no longer bring joy
