Rather writing poetry to express bluntly what you have experienced, write poems to create feelings to the reader.
Focus on these points while writing a poetry.
-
- Know Your Goal
-
- Avoid Clichés
-
- Avoid Sentimentality
-
- Use Images
-
- Use Metaphor and Simile
-
- Use Concrete Words Instead of Abstract Words
-
- Communicate Theme
-
- Subvert the Ordinary
-
- Rhyme with Extreme Caution
-
- Revise, Revise, Revise
- And finally read yourself as a Reader and if you can’t explain it yourself, expel the poem and write again.
- Happy Writing!!
