Poetry Advice Please

Hey guys, well, I like to write poetry and almost all of my poems come from my heart...But when I go back to read my poems, I kinda don't like the way it flows. How can I make the emotions and the core of the poem more bold?? Any tips?

Thanks :-)

^^^ Agreed

For a variety of information on various aspects of writing poetry, check out the topic in this forumn entitled NOTES ON WRITING POETRY.There's a little bit of everything from a couple members.

That happends to me as well, and i think a lot of others, when you're writting your not exactly thinking of how the poems flowing, just the correct choice of words, but you have to read it allowed, to see wat sounds better or not, which is what i do now =]

Yeah, I started to write a little, go back read it, then write some more, go back read it again lolll takes a lot more time to write a poem, but I'm really liking the way they're turning out now...thanks guys!

let the poetry do the writing. get a good idea and then roughly plan out how it should sound. then let the poetry write itself. later, change the stanzas you don't really like and you can also use this site for help. http://www.rymezone.com

Thank you so much...I will definitely give it a shot!

Once you have written a few lines copy and paste and switch them around and sometimes the flow becomes improved
For example

"Thanks so much I will give It a shot
I appreciate the help I got"
Could be
"I appreciate the help I got
Thanks so much I will give it a shot

Not a good example perhaps but it can work especially if you swap around a complete verse

Good Luck

^^^Understood...Thank you...Although I think it will confuse me a bit...I'm gonna give it a try...

I took the liberty of sending you an example of 1 of your own poems by private email
I hope it helps you

if I can be of any further help in the future please let me know
Peace
John

^^^I really loved the way you changed the poem around! That was great help...thanks...Maybe if you have some free time, you can do another one for example...Pleeeaaassseee....LoL

Are you a member of any clubs because I have started doing the same thing for 1 of the members iof the club im in and we do each others before we submit its a good way of learning from each other the club is
Poetry that should be appreciated.

other than that I will look at your poems if you email them to me but only to help you you must eventually do the same thing for yourself

Peace
John

I'm actually not a member of any clubs...but I think it's a great idea to help one another out in such a way...It really helps a lot....
