Actually, there is no record of when the first poem was written. Poetry has been written throughout the ages. There is ancient poetry such as the "Psalms" written by the Hebrew King David. There is Dark Age poetry such as "Beowulf". There is also medieval poetry such as the "Canterbury Tales". The styles of poetry have changed over the years and these examples may not be what we think of modern-day "poetry". Just like literature and every are, styles change with the era and are influenced by other events that occur in the world.

Actually, poems first began in ancient Greece, India, and China going back to 600 BCE.
