The most personal way to include a poem in your yearbook is to write your own. A poem can be about anything, though the most popular for inclusion in a yearbook is a poem about the possibilities of the future. As you are thinking about your yearbook, think about your feelings right then in that moment. What do you want to accomplish? What are your hopes, dreams for the future? How does the situation for which the yearbook is being made, such as high school graduation, make you feel? Write all of these things down as honestly as possible and form them into a poem of any format.
An additional idea for a poem to put in your yearbook is a famous poem. One of the most popular is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, which describes taking a unique path in your life. A poem selected for inclusion in your yearbook should say something about your feelings as well as be a positive message for the others who will be receiving the yearbook. When selecting a poem, you want to make sure that the message will be seen as positive or uplifting, a happy thought that helps to describe the point you and your friends have reached in your lives.
An idea for a poem to put in your yearbook that is not necessarily a famous poem or an original work is to use song lyrics. Song lyrics are often written in a similar style as a poem without being well-known as a poem. Is there a song that describes the time or place that you find yourself in? f so, consider using the lyrics from that song as your poem. Find a good copy of the lyrics, or write them down carefully and read through them as a poem rather than as a song. Make sure that you include the original author's name and information to give them due credit in your yearbook.
