Additionally, you can use colors to rhyme your poetry. Although, your poetry does not have to rhyme, using colors can make your poetry to be memorable.

If you are a beginner in writing descriptive poetry or writing any type of poetry, you can use poetry prompts. However, you can also use a list, clustered chart, or write as many words as possible that come to mind. In the example, pink was used to describe food and one emotion during a first date. Nevertheless, you can continue writing about your feelings and descriptive images to write about your experiences. Also, if you keep a dream journal, it can help you write poetry and colors combined with your vivid dreams. 

 

You can write about nature, the colors that you see, and your favorite colors. Begin by writing a list of your favorite colors. Then, writing about how the colors make you feel. Also, you can combine numbers and colors with your poetry. Nonetheless, practice changing the order of the words and read it aloud until you feel comfortable with your writing.
