Guides

Find tips and hints on How To Write Poetry from people who share this experience.

Here are a few tips...

We all have the right to write. Poetry is a forum to use our words to create what ever you can imagine. Create a reality which is as real as any material reality with only words. This conciousness can transform the world. Choose your words wisely
Don't think, just write. Don't worry about form, or what your audience might think. It's more important to get your thoughts down. If you write it the way it comes, the right people to read it will. Something like 'if you build it, they will come.'
Why would anybody write this way?
What longing does it fulfill?
Do we express a life-perspective pleasantly with poetry?
