<![CDATA[This study was motivated by students’ difficulties in writing poetry, particularly their limited understanding of poetry materials and difficulty developing ideas into written form. In addition, teachers had not yet utilized image media in teaching poetry writing. This study aimed to describe the poetry writing skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Al-Ihsan Pegambiran, West Pasaman Regency, using image media. This research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The sample consisted of 31 students of class VIII D2, selected through purposive sampling. The data were obtained from students’ performance tests in writing poetry using image media and were assessed based on three indicators of the inner structure of poetry: theme, feeling, and message. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques by calculating students’ scores and average achievement. The results showed that the students’ poetry writing skills using image media obtained an average score of 91.75, which falls within the 86–95% range and is classified as very good. These findings indicate that image media can support students in developing ideas and expressing them in poetic form. The use of image media also helps attract students’ interest and facilitates their understanding of poetry writing activities. Therefore, image media can be used as an alternative learning medium to support the development of students’ poetry writing skills.]]>
