    Keep Practicing, Theres No Such Thing As Poetry That Dosen't Make Any Sense, Because I'm Sure To You It Does, Some Art In Galleries Don't Make Any Sense To Other People, But When Its Viewed Thoroughly Its Understood For All Of Its Aspects, Art Is Poetry xoxo-Nikki-xoxo

    Well what I do,
    If I don't like a part in the poem (or just the poem), I don't keep it even if I'm not 100% sure that I like it.
    If you have doubts on a poem, then figure out which parts you like and dislike about it, and get rid of the parts you dislike, or fix them.

    I agree. I get alot of my ideas for my poems by reading books. They can come in handy sometimes.

    Chris is right, read more poetry, novels and learn more about poetry styles, structures and forms.

    this is a habit I would recommend you not pick up.

    Not sure if it well provide any help, but I covered a few different aspects of writing in my topic/post in this section of the forum(writing poetry).The post is titled:

    Poetry writing habits/advice/suggestions/writer's block/exercises/etc.

    perhaps you can find something of use amongst my ramblings.
    Take care,

    I dunno, if I can help, but I always try to write about something that would be awesome, like watching a man having his throat ripped, or impalings... oh that gave me a new Idea, I shall write about Vlad the Impaler (also more commonly known as Count Dracula)

    Perhaps you're forcing your poems. I always wait until that subject comes to me and theres a reason and a time to write. If not, I try not to think of it or any source of poetry. I know it will gradually come to me =].
    You should try that too, if that seems to be the problem.

    God bless,
