Alliteration could possibly propel your personal poetry to profoundly preposterous positions.
Be choosy (and very)
of when you use rhyme;
It’s not necessary
to rhyme all the time.
Call upon Personification, for She is your friend.
Don’t write anything at all whatsoever that isn’t completely and wholly or at least mostly necessary to whatever you might be trying to say or convey, because often the addition of useless unnecessary words or phrases (or stanzas, et cetera) can make for unnecessarily long, repetitious and somewhat or even extremely difficult or challenging (and sometimes even boring, or in some cases tedious) passages for the reader or readers to read with any sense of comprehension or understanding of what the author or poet has written and/or typed.
Editting can help yuo avoid misstakes,
Form will be helpful
sonnet, haiku, or a new
disciplined freedom
Good writers should get a good, good dictionary. It’s good to know more good words to choose from, so that you can have more good words from which to choose in a good, good… good manner.
Hardness of being understood by someone often may result when reading improperly constructed sentences because of the making thereof by the writer.
I wouldn’t use the first person, if I didn’t have a good reason.
Just sure be sense makes it cucumber sauce (at least wombat figurine on some level). Batman.
Kick out all of the yucky colloquial, IMspeak, or slang phrases if they don’t fit the style of the poem, dudes. It’s totally a put-off to the cognoscenti, ya know? It’d be like me usin’ some kinda high-falutin’ word or somethin’ when I’m just chattin’ w/my homeboys. OMG I sound so lame…
Lying about the details for aesthetic purposes is forgivable when writing poetry based on personal experience, although I have never done so.
Make sure if you use any offensive or risque shit that it adds something to your fucking poem, and is not just there for shock value, god damn it!
not even “i” needs to be capitalized All the time.
Over-used words or phrases (or ideas) can be really, really, really, really bad. Really.
Punctuation: can? be= fun! to- play* with). ;)
Quality, not quantity.
RULE NUMBER EIGHTEEN
Not all poems need titles.
Spacing is important
and should be
well
thought-
out.
Try to avoid repeating things (like words or phrases or ideas or concepts or themes or motifs) too much or being redundant, because repeating things too many times makes for a very very very redundant and repetitious piece of writing, so try not to say the same thing too many times, in order to avoid being too redundant; not to mention repetetive, which is not something you want to be, at the risk of sounding like a redundant broken record that just plays the same bit of music over and over and over without stopping or changing. So what I’m saying is just say what you want to say and get it over with. Don’t drag it out and bore everyone by going on and on and on about the same things forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.
Use metaphors; they are your tools.
Very good poetry doesn’t generally have quite meaningless adjectives or adverbs, at least not mostly, anyway.
Why not use more questions?
Xtra sure make you that your form doesn’t cause your poetry to seem convoluted.
You oughtta used good grammar unless you got a okay reason to not.
PS: Always finish what you start.
