Poetry Writing Tips

What is poetry? It is an expression of the heart. Like painting a picture but with words, from what you imagine or feel. AI can’t tell you how you feel or what you see. First draft, find what motivates you to write poetry. Maybe you want to become a poet Laureate. Get published in a magazine or just help to pay the bills. Write from your motivation for a first draft to get all of your ideas onto the page, so you do not forget them. Second draft, look for areas to improve, such as showing instead of telling.
