5 Uncommon POETRY TIPS to Instantly Write BETTER POEMS 

My process and suggestions: 1. Write, write, write and write. Eventually will be instinctive and you will feel the need to write. 2. Don't overthink, just write 3. Don't bother with rules and rhymes, just improve de text later 4. Don't judge your quality. Sure you will write bad or boring stuff, but the gems will appear. Poetry it's mining, metal smithing, wood carving, sculpturing, painting. 5. Don't expect to be inspired. Deep inspiration it's rare, but great things can come from the ordinary. Specially inspiration itself.

In my opinion, the best way to write poetry, don’t think at first, just start writing, an emotion or feeling will uncover itself and then you can hone in on that feeling or emotion. Never say the emotion you’re thinking about, you can say something like “the birds sing their sorrowful tune”, but never ever state what feeling you have while writing the poem, it constricts it and most of the time it will cause people to not think for themselves and develop their own emotions about the poem. I always write on paper with a trusted fountain pen because that feels the best, but that’s a personal preference. You can write however you like, but I always prefer to have a physical copy in my hand before I put it into an online document. Another thing, it’s a personal preference; however, I prefer not to rhyme and keep it without any given classical format, keep it without rhymes and free form, in my opinion, rhyming every end of every line is rather childish, but to each his own.

As the sun sets And as flowers bloom As the winds blow Set a time for doom Things may be bright Yet again who knows The brightest angels Have bitter flaws As fire spreads And as volcanoes erupt As the ravens scream This love may not corrupt Not a single wicked scheme Has ever been seen In the hearts of most wicked Love has been I don't even know about this poem i wrote

A little acrostic poem (raindrop): Resting on a leaf And going on its final water-slide ride Into the abyss of air. Never saved, never interjected; Doomed, oblivious to doom. Rescued by a thought: Over there will stretch a twig Pulling me up again.

I wouldn't mind having him as my English teacher.

To add to your first point, poems that have many images and ideas can synthesise it all together to have one cohesive main idea. For example, roads, cars, spaceships and stars to illustrate the idea of aimlessness: travel without a destination. Although there are many images, they're not in isolation.

Raindrops on a window seal A library at night I yearn for what once was And fear what might I stumble and stutter Trance-like down the hall Led by the candle's light And the voices? They squall. With a feeling inside me, I can't help but wonder Who else might be with me Feeling this thunder? It comes like a wave It roars and it wanes It's no ordinary feeling It's a most desperate pain. It yearns and it hungers For even a piece of that day A day that is perfect In every way. I know that this day can't happen again, But I yearn for it anew Like a chick for it's hen. If ever there was a joy, So terrible, so far It's the joy of hiraeth, As you remember what's gone

I'm 16 and I write poetry started at age 9 till now I'm still going Imma publish a book one day My advice is just take a pen and paper no need to think nature will do the rest

You may not see my lips move Yet I almost scream my heart out Yelling & longing to be heard Yet yielding no audience at all Not that my voice wasn't Loud enough; Just that it was all an act in my mind. Yours truly, Me!

I almost never comment on videos but I want to say that you did a great job and I can't wait to see new stuff!

I've been writing love and sad poems since like the 8th grade. I'm 23 years now and I still have the tendency to go off topic and make it suuuuper long. I should've taken a creative writing class 😔

Incredibly watchable video... Easy on the eyes, easy on the ears, but HARD ON KNOWLEDGE. I like it. One thing however is that good poetry can exist without tension. In those cases the iceberg ratios are flipped, but the words need to be so on point that they can support the poem on their own, either through humour or sexiness. I would've liked to see the Volta talked about, or "the turn" as some call it... The point in a poem that indicates a dramatic shift in theme E.G happy to sad or perhaps a stark revelation. This adds dimension to the poem, and goes hand in hand with tension. Great work

❝Dejected❞ Isolated. Maybe I was born to be alone. To be in a corner in which I call home. Dark as it may seem, it feels so comforting. The remedy of my illness is unknown, I'm still searching. I feel no sadness, no emotions inside. My heart seems to be void with feelings aside. Isolated. I stay. I sit on my bed while my mind is astray. My notions are on a sick twist, you don't need to know. The things I have in mind is more vigorous than horror shows. Its eating me up, it can never be full. Not until it gnaws my being as a whole. Demons? They ain't real. Just a bunch of delusions. Though I believe the real demon is inside me, causing illusions. Isolated. Yes, that's what I feel. That's what I am, that's how I had lived. Soon I won't be, ain't gonna be lonely. For in the grave, thousands of bones are beside me. Happy, yes you will be soon. If I rest for eternity, I'd escape all the gloom. Crestfallen being, that's how I was known. Might as well also accept if I die in forlorn.

Been writting poems since I was a kid and learned these things from reading published poets. Well I've been published but nothing major. This is great information.

Where has this channel been in my life

A million A million reactions A million thoughts A million aches A million questions A million emotions A million sensations A million pains A minute in my head has a million thoughts

I only started writing poetry seriously last august when I started my first college poetry course and immediately switched my major (from just fiction to poetry so not a huge jump) when I found how much I loved it. I would sometimes write poems to vent, but the class I took allowed me to see how I could make those into something actually worth a read (by someone other than myself). Bc enrollment is down, they’ve cut the class I would be taking in the fall (so I have to do it in the spring) so I’ve been trying to find ways to continue to grow my skill. I think this was really helpful! It reminded me of some tactics I know but still need to practice and gave me new ones! Thanks so much!

Ive been starting out with poetry lately but Ive always had a way with words ever since and I just needed uncommon ideas and tips to help me write better and this is exactly the what I need!!!

Hi there! I am a Filipino Poet by Heart and starting my career in making Spoken Word Poetries. This video is very helpful to me and I learned a lot from this even in a short period of time. Imitation, Adaptation to Transformation but we should still be the Original. Thank you so much for this video. :)

My God. The amount of effort and thought put into this video for a concise explaination is ASTOUNDING. Thank you so much! How does this have so few liikes?

I can be quite cringe sometimes ( I’m terrible with words)so I took up drawing , that way I don’t have to talk to express sometimes it can be liked through how good it looks. But goddammit poetry looks are sounds so damn cool I have a lot of appreciation for you poets

I have been writing poetry for some time. I am finally putting them out there. Wish me luck! This video is very informative. I definitely took notes.

Thank you! I was struggling finishing a poem, decided to remove all the verses except one and now it’s perfect

Wonderful tips and advice and so well delivered too, it opens up a lot of avenues not signposted, especially living off the crumbs of the masters. Now for the wedding cake !

I’m so glad for this site. So much poetry out there but so hard to know if you’re any good. I really appreciate your advice about mixing metaphors and also cliches

poetry is really my passion and the last part of this video really resonated with me - i often feel as though my poetry isn't good enough and can't compare to that which i read, but i love the idea of having freedom to copy the poetry that i admire in order to improve my own

I am a poet and i am 16 years old . I think the best ways to write a poem are 1. Freely Writing without thinking whatever comes in your mind about someone or something Then adding line breaks in them !! 2.You can also use this one reading more and more poetry by different poets and taking a particular theme and crafting it into a poem. THAT'S EASY!!!!! isn't it?

This video was so helpful, and just what I needed. Thank you

Thank you! This is very helpful. I wrote a poem write after and I love it. ❤

This is damn helpful. The first tip caught me in the net because we tend to catch a person or an image and forget that the Essence of a poetry is "impact"

I have began Intro to Creative Writing in college and we are focusing on poetry aka something that I struggle terrible with. You, my friend, just helped me out a lot and may comment with some poetry I write later on. The teacher asked us to listen to a poet's writing strategy/process, so guess who I'm going to be writing about that helped me out? Thank you again!

this was so helpful. thanks man.

You have contributed to make me a good poet in future, awesome stuff, really wonderful effort.

This makes poetry so much easier and better i am only new to poetry but this helps so much as the sealine swims we all stand in desipar there is nothing better the a sealine in despair

Can someone critique this poem I made but keep in mind it’s the first poem I’ve made As I wash my hands from the black blood from my lovers heart I just broke, I try to end this chapter and move on. But when I walk on the entrance of shame with a shovel I just buried his body with, I see him standing there with a halo shining brighter than the sun above his head. So beautiful and pristine, perfectly straight white teeth like his sexuality, I had so many questions but nothing came out. He rises before the world in the sunrise sweet silence. I could hear his voice speaking to me in that silence. I was an addict of his dark raspy voice. So every night I felt lonely I numbed my pain with his voice. I mean what is even so special about him? There’s plenty other people to love, and plenty of drugs to try so who cares? I realized I needed him for my sanity I realized I loved him for his insanity

Super helpful, thank you. Am subbed. 🌞

The fifth tip was my first step and now I'm able to make original poems

It's kinda cringe but I tried to use the tips in editing the poem to make it more concise and emotive he holds a thorn to his fingertip cheeks glow crimson with an aching grin a pain so great, a boy so fragile he is so thin, a boy with paper bones and a grave he dug himself. standing, rose in hand at the edge on the brink he is alone, empty yet he grins. a wide, joyous grin on a cold, fragile boy blood drips from his fingertip a rose, wilting, thorns and all.

Your thought is Good, Thank you I will try on my Poetry

Heeh this is really good Also I subbed

I look foreword to more videos, very informative :)

Very good tips thank you

Really good stuff.. thanks

really well taught!

The first ten seconds of this video is amazing

Well, I've seen all & non' Seen flowers bloom And the hook reeled back, gone I've seen the empty room Lit only by her bottled sun And if you had asked me once more I'd say there's only I & the horizon beyond She was a muse of the stars Wholly of Mars She was an unending night sky Her love, a series of light, on & on With everything, she had me along Thought she was mine but she was her's I had nothing but only the horizon beyond So I sail my mortal realm By sea, by helm, From time to time again & again I see her across the sky For a moment she's there, & she's gone I wish to have her i wish to so much as try But for now I've me & the horizon beyond If you cant tell im really influenced by Bob dylan. Tell me what you guys thinks :)

Here’s a good example of a creative poem from simply observing a dove or doves supposedly the birds of peace but the hunters could care less because to them they were just a dinner meal. These are probably the thoughts that ended up in the following poem by my favorite poet, who also painted as evidenced by his original paintings he did in his limited edition poetry books. Here’s the poem: PEACE I thought the dove was the bird of peace but here they were shooting them out of the brush and climbing up the sides of mountains and banging them down; and everywhere the doves went there were the hunters blasting and beaming and blasting, and one man who didn't in the slightest resemble a dove was shot in the shoulder; and there were many complaints that the doves were smaller and scarcer than last year, but the way they fell through the air when you stung the life out of them was the same; and I was there too but I couldn't shoot anything with a paintbrush; and a couple of them came over to my canvas and stood and stood and stood until I finally said, for God's sake go look at Picasso and Rembrandt, go look at Klee and Gauguin, listen to a symphony by Mahler, and if you get anything out of that come back and stare at my canvas! what the hell's wrong with him? the one guy said. he's nuts. they're all nuts, the other guy said. anyhow, I got my 10 doves. me too, his buddy said, let's go home: we can have them in the pan by 2:30. -Charles Bukowski

Thank you 😊

here's something i wrote for my creative writing class- The sailor's tale: the temper of creatures such as her is unpredictable, of this i was warned. however, seeing her there among the waves, at peace with the sea foam, she looks like art. her voice is comparable, to the song of a dove, as she hums a soothing melody for the weary sailor. her white dress is long, and had been weathered by the mighty ocean. but it somehow remained pristine, and flowing like a sail with the wind. her eyes reflect the sun’s bright glare, ocean blue spheres staring straight at our ship. and her hair, golden blonde. its silhouette is waist length and wavy. i feel in my soul, that if i were to touch it, it would be as soft as the cotton clouds dotted throughout the baby blue sky. the legends were true after all, you fair temptress, Aphrodite.

Thanks it helps me much becoz I writes poem and it help me in write many other poems

i really enjoyed this

Great video!!

The editing is styled so old, it's so good and nostalgic.
