    Here are a few tips from some editors give when reviewing poetry:

    -Establish a specific writing style (i.e., rhymed verse, blank verse, etc.)
    -Establish a meter and follow it consistently throughout the poem (i.e., iambic pentameter)
    -Use poetic elements (i.e., metaphor, simile, alliteration, assonance, consonance, etc.)
    -Avoid using clichés
    -Be original!

    Those two are the same...
    But I certainly agree.
