Hello Lucille and Welcome,

When starting a new topic...you'll see this section on the bottom of your new topic screen

If you do not want to add a poll to your topic, leave the fields blank.
Poll question
Poll option
Run poll for Days [ Enter 0 or leave blank for a never-ending poll ]

Where it says poll question, put the question you're "polling" about there...for example, "whats your favorite color".

Under that you'll see a field for "Poll Option"...in that field you would put the answers of your poll that people can choose from, for example "blue"...then you would click on the "add option" button located next to that field. All you have to do is repeat those steps for each poll option/answer....ie red, pink, white, etc.

After you're done with putting in all of your poll options, goto the next step and choose how many days you want your poll to run and click submit to post your poll.
