probably because youre growing as a person and you find it interesting… you can turn your poems into somthing fun like songs or somthing you know theyre practically the same thing.

You need to be creative , sensitive , expressive, emotional .to be able to write poetry .These qualities may have been dormant in you without you being aware of it. Did any thing happen to you recently ? Something to trigger these qualities ?

I think it just boils down to being able to express yourself and your feelings verbally. Writing skills, a large vocabulary, imagination and creativity are also very helpful. Oh, and life experiences are a must. If you think about it most of this doesn’t begin to even develop until you are older and much more mature.

I started suddenly, too, but it wasn’t emotions in my case. It was a ‘breakthrough in writing confidence.’ Poetry stopped looking ‘beyond me,’ so I shrugged and wrote a few bad poems. Then, because I could see that ‘I can do better than that,’ I wrote a few more that were slightly better.
The path ahead was clear; if I wanted to focus tightly on poetry, I could become a fine poet. If not, I’d be an okay poet, within a year or two. I went with ‘okay poet,’ and I don’t regret my choice. I write poetry when another hobby feels stale; it’s on the rotation schedule.
So, why do YOU have the sudden urge to scratch your poetic itch? It might be emotionally driven–especially if you’re young and hormonal. (I was well over forty when I started writing poetry–not terribly emotional.)
You can check it out. Try writing a drily humorous poem about an ordinary vista that leads to an arid and abstract intellectual epiphany without boring a reader to death. If you can do that, you ain’t just an emotionally driven poet.
