Here's some tips!
Start by writing down all the words that come to mind when you think of your subject. Poets and writers often imagine what other people or objects see or feel.
Choose and explore the right words: don't be afraid to turn to a rhyming dictionary or a thesaurus. But remember: short poems may mean less breathing room for your fanciest vocabulary words. Focus on the phrases that convey the most meaning in the least space.
I hope this helps :)
