Tips for Writing Better Poetry

Hi. My name is not Michael Caine. My name is George Stanworth, and I am a published poet based in Hertfordshire, England.

Here are some of my tips for writing better poetry:-

1.                      Read a range of poetry from contemporary poets and classical poets.
2.                      Read different genres of poetry.
3.                      Write from experience. Be true to yourself.
4.                      Don't just write at one time of day or in one location.
5.                      Carry a dictaphone with you, or a pen and paper, at all times.
6.                      Come up with fresh metaphors and new ways of expressing universal ideas.
7.                      Take some time to come up with fresh rhymes.
8.                      Join a local writing group. Don't be afraid of criticism
9.                      Enrol onto a writing course if you can afford it.
10.                      Rewrite. Rewrite. Rewrite.
