On the other hand, there are some tips and tricks to improve your writing based on things other people have experienced through long years of writing poetry.
Effective tools can help your writing become more powerful - to bring your readers closer to crying or laughing.
Our 5 SECRET tips to make your poems publishable!

Use less words to say more

Read it out loud! This helps you hear places that don't sound right, or where you might get bored.
Perspiration not just Inspiration

Revision is a major part of the poetic process - come back to your poem after a day or two with a fresh perspective. Make multiple versions and see which one is better.
Find an idol

Read journals like "Poetry" that you hope to be published in. For practice, start with the first line of one and write your own poem. Then replace the first line!

WRITE EVERY DAY

You are what you do, so write! Free-writing or JOURNALing is useful, but try to write a poem every day. You'll be amazed at how good you feel.
Find a community

It's hard to write without any feedback or encouragement, SHARE YOUR VERSE! POETRY HEALS & INSPIRES! YOU WRITE THE BOOK OF YOUR LIFE!
