A poem or verse is a literary composition used to expressemotions or ideas using literary techniques like rhyme andmetaphor. Although there are no set rules for creating poetry,these tips will help you create your own baby shower verses:

1) Often, a one-line verse may be all you need. Short verses aregood for personalized gifts where there is limited space, likeengraved candles or personalized gift tags. An easy way tocreate an effective verse is to have a word in the middle rhymewith a word at the end of the verse.

2) If the baby already has a name, then their name canpotentially be used in the verse. The new parents' names canalso be used if desired. Try to write down as many words thatrhyme with the selected name, then construct a verse.

3) Four line verses are quite popular for baby shower poems. Theeasiest form of such poetry is to have the second and fourthline rhyme. To brainstorm, try to write down as many babyrelated words that you can think of, and then try to write downrhyming words. Two or three verses will make a nice sized poemfor invitations and birth announcements.

4) Poems don't have

to rhyme at all. You can also use imageryand metaphors to create beautiful verbal pictures. Try to thinkof all the emotions and images that may come from having a baby.

5) Also, if you are using poetry for announcements or gifts, itis also nice to include pictures or clip art graphics. If youare artistic, then you can create these yourself. Otherwise,search online for baby graphics or clip art.

A final tip is to read other people's poetry and verses to seehow they are structured. Greeting cards sometimes contain goodverses as well. A baby shower verse or poem is a great touch foryour baby shower invitations and gifts.
