Prompting Tips

Be Specific

The more specific you are, the better the poem will be. Instead of 'write a poem about love', try 'write a romantic poem about watching sunrise with someone special'.

Set the Mood

Describe the emotion or atmosphere you want: melancholic, joyful, mysterious, peaceful, or energetic.

Choose a Style

Specify if you want a haiku, sonnet, free verse, or a particular style like Shakespearean or modern poetry.

Add Context

Include details about setting, characters, or personal experiences to make the poem more meaningful.

Example Prompts
"Write a peaceful haiku about morning coffee"

Simple, specific, and includes style preference

"Create a melancholic free verse poem about autumn leaves falling in an empty park"

Includes mood, style, imagery, and setting

"Write a joyful sonnet celebrating friendship and shared memories"

Specifies emotion, form, and theme

"Compose a mysterious poem about a lighthouse keeper's secrets"

Sets atmosphere and provides narrative context
