Secret To Writing Good Poetry


What's needed to write good poetry A vivid imagination and flair General knowledge and a good vocabulary Much love and you're almost there A sense of humour is also important Each is unique as they say Adding their own personality to verse Helps stay ahead of the fray There's no magic potion one can take Poetry come from within There's no mistaking it, you'll surely know When accolades start pouring in The thrill you get when someone applauds It's so very hard to describe Over the moon is one way of putting it Feel like you've finally arrived What's really needed to write good poetry Dedication, dedication, dedication A burning desire and a passion for writing A passion without hesitation

A few other things are necessary like an active mind (sort of) guffaw! Cheers my British Amigo!
