How to improve my writing

just try to rhyme and make sense and u dont suck just believe in yourself

Try to write a lot. The more you write the better you'll become. And try writing out your feelings.

Just keep on writing. You'll improve over time.

I have 5 sugesstions. I'm new to this site and I haven't read any of your work, so I don't know if you supposedly "suck" yet. First off, you must have a love of poetry to even write it! Might help you. Secondly, you have to have talent. If you don't, let's put it this way : YOU'RE SCREWED! Third, you have to write a lot. It doesn't matter if it's crappy, it helps build up your writing style. Fourth, you might want to write about things that has happened in your life or what is happening to you. Makes it more personal and emotional, and it attracts people to read it..and like it. Last but not least, try rhyming your words in your poems. Makes it fun for the reader and it has a flow to it. Hope this helps you!

chelsea, he's not screwed. talent can be developed. in fact, developed talent tends to be better than naturel talent.

ur not bad at all. ur better than me at least >.< keep it up man. and like that other person said, reading other poetry is a great way to help u develop ur own style and help give u ideas.

"just try to rhyme and make sense"

Wrong

Thats better Ismail, your first post in here was potentially very insulting if taken the wrong way...which given the context of the question asked, was very easy to do.

But yeah to the asker of the question...keep writing...and read up on some classic poets, get a book where another writer writes about their poems and breaks them down for you.

And hell, read the poetry articles on this very website...they will help...i even have one..

The way i approach Poetry is, it is just a fancy word for someone writing their innermost feelings and emotions on paper, expressed in a flowing way. Very few of my poems ryhme, if you are stuck for language use a thesaurus, it usually works, and if you are looking to use more poetic devices and techniques just look around the web, there are a great many sites taht will give you hints and tips on improving your poems, main thing is, stick at it and things should improve.

Bryan, sorry i said he was screwed. I didn't type that. My screwed up sister did and i didn't bother to reread what i had already written.. You're not screwed Peter. THERE IS HOPE!!!!!!
