Some More of my Tips for Writing Better Poetry
1. Attend a performance poetry night. In London the Poetry Cafe, Covent Garden has some good ones.If you live in the home counties or south Midlands in the UK, the following websites may be of
interest. http://rrrants.com/, http://www.poetrykapow.co.uk/
2. Participate in a performance poetry night
3. Write a poem based on some art, a piece of music, or a dance.
4. Write at different times of the day rather than at one particular time every day or week.
5. Write regularly
6. Think about every word that you write. Does it fit in with your intention? Is the language consistent? Does
it keep with the rhythm and mood of the poem.
7. Write a blog. Participate in other poet's blogs. Discuss poetry.
8. Share your work with other's. Not just with close family and friend's though.
8. Re-write. Re-write. Re-write.
Best wishes,
George Stanworth
