Heya, Im new to the forums but need sme help already.

Poetry, something that really bothers me. This may sound rather childish but when your reading poetry, what features show you that its a good type of Poetry and how do you think I can do these.

Sorry if thats misunderstandable, Blood Writer.

You may want to post this in the Poetry section.

To answer your question...I think you need to read the celebrated poets of our time, and times past. After a while, you will learn what is good, and what stinks.

Nothing is better than looking around a dusty library for great works of literature and poetry.

he's right... that's good advice!... if you want some personal help, i've been a fairly full time poet for a lot of years and work with lots of new-to-the-art folks, so feel free to email me any time... you can browse my work on my site...

love and hugs, maia
