Poetry Articles for Poetry Writers at World of Poets

Here are some tips that come to mind, things I use in poetry, and perhaps do not always use, and should:

1 - I find [or believe] a fact, in poetry, is not poetry, nor can it move the mind's eye, thoughts, and one's imagination.

2 - I find repetition is, or can be effective, or can be valuable, but not when it shows the lack in, or scarcity of the imagination.

3 - I believe, the use of semicolons and commas become or can become hideous, or hazardous if not used wisely. The poem can reek with wrong [ly] breaks.

4 - I also believe in genuine poetry, or that, genuine poetry should vibrate; there is a vibration that exists, one needs to find it and use it. A kind of force; or something to carry it; most poetry does not emerge from the page it is written on.

5 - Poetry I believe must have been felt as a personal experience. Again I do think the great lyrics (most of those I've read, and considered great) are clearly simple in diction.

Note: Fact with truth: modern poetry, has what may be considered an invaluable element to it, but it is nonetheless, the way life is, it is almost a requirement nowadays, as priceless as it is, it costs, and it resides beyond the mind, beyond thought and expression, idiom, appearance, and I hate to name it (as you may already know) it is called: good advertising, like a product, to put it over. Thus, poetry then must be unusual and sensational, a burden it must carry to the first step of the ladder. And when all the good poets are dead, we will find no more truth, I dare say, only detail and reality.
