Poetry is an art form that is seldom surpassed by other arts. It’s a way to express oneself in a way that is difficult to describe. Let’s just say, it’s poetic.

Nonetheless, sometimes we can be intimidated by the very art of it. Staring at your computer screen, not sure how to comingle enough words to make it catchy.

Sounds complicated, isn’t it?

Wrong! It’s easier than you think, but it takes a lot of practice. It’s not something that one can master even in a year.

My best advice for writing poetry?

Think about the things in your life that make you happy, and then some.

Your partner, pet, hobbies, job, weather, food, vacation, anything.

Poetry requires a state of mind that is in tune with your inner self. You need to be at peace with yourself to write beautiful poetry.

Otherwise, your emotion will show in your work.

Whatever it is, don’t give up on writing that beautiful poem. It’s a gift to be cherished for life. Especially if it’s for the right person.
