hey can u help meeh im new

hey everyone i need help in learning how to write poems hehe well i love to write but how do i star out does it matter????

just write what u think ... how should i start

Are you here right now?

i read your poems you have posted, they were good, but i think you should split them into verses because they are short and all cramped together, like a story not a poem. good though

Firstly: Learn how to spell...

Secondly: Think of a topic, any topic, and then just feel it out.

Third: Capture the readers with a strong opening.

if you want to learn how to write than you have to learn about what your writing about, in your case, seems to be about poems. You need to learn how to flow together the stanzas, you need to learn how to capture your audience, you need to learn special techniques. Writing isn't something that can be taught in a quick session of 10 minutes and you can't expect to hear a few words of advice and be able to snap your fingers and say "whala, i'm a fabulous writer now, publish me!" it just doesn't work that way. The more you work at it, the better you will get. Read other peoples work, don't steal any of it, but read it. Find a topic that you can write about, anything, something that you can get to the very depth about and just write what is on your mind about it. But again, be patient with it, i started writing when i was eleven, i am sixteen now and i am still learning something new with every piece of literature that i come up with.
ciao for now

knowing your topic first of all, and then you can just go on talking about it, the facts, the causes and so on... so it isn't really hard to start

Here are some tutorials on writing poetry posted previously in the writng forum;

Some people dont know how they "feel". But yea, write about emotions, past events, love, erotic stuff - it all works.

hey i am not a good writer either but onw of my poems is calles Secrets && Cry's... its under lost love... if you want you can read it and comment!

Dont listen to these people, only you know what you're writing. take care

u can't learn to write. just write what u feel. =)

that is true when you have that creative boost inside u, u just let it all out

all of your advice is very good and meaningful but somehow I can't take this person seriously

Just me

Peace

I agree with Mr tigny! coz if your new then shouldn't you write lots of poems, figue out what people like then make more of that type of poem, it seems to me like your just looking for a shortcut!

For some advice/suggestions and tips on poetry, check out my posting on NOTES ON WRITING POETRY in this forumn.Not only have I posted stuff, but other notable P&Q members have contributed.It covers a wide variety of topics-from the basics to the technical aspects of forms and terms, notes on writer's block, exercises to stimulate creativity, a list of poetic terms/forms and definitions, markets to publish your poetry and aspects of personal writing habits.I hope you find some things of use there.

Peace, Poetry, & Power,
