General Tips on How to Write Poem or Poetry
Being a poet means to learn how to use one's mind. This means the ability to be highly creative, thinking deeply into "thought" and imaginations and into the world of nature, beauty, ugly, happiness, sadness, life and death, good and bad, etc. It is the ability to see and feel every or any emotion that strikes itself into one's mind, either caused by others, nature or the person him/herself. It also means the ability to know how to use words plainly, figuratively, idiomatically or parabolically, etc. And also knowing how to represent in letters, systematic sentences and comments the way one feels in a certain time. Either from what he/she saw, touched, heard or experienced. It is in addition, the ability to use words to paint pictures or create imageries, beautify events or scenarios or make ugly events or scenarios. Furthermore, it is the ability to use words penetratedly- that is, using words in such a way that it can penetrate into peoples' or readers mind and piercing into their emotions and making them to feel good or bad, bold or afraid, feel pity or praised as their mood or state of mind.

These however, involves a calming of the mind, relaxing of the brain, comparison of words and using the most appropriate and suitable to the message meant to be conveyed with the poem(s). Words and figures are used to represent ideas, occurrence or events in poetry. Tears, agony, sorrow, etc., can be used to represent ugly, painful or dangerous situations. Terms like mill of life, desert men call life or desert of life, etc., can also serve better in the place of the words listed above. The shining sun, flowers- mainly rose flowers and lilies, the clustering and flying happy birds, butterflies, the flowing seas or rivers, trees or plants and vegetations with lively greenish fresh leaves, stars tingling brightly at the deep thick dark night, rainbows, smiling or laughter on the faces of little cute children or new born babies, etc., can be used to represent beautiful, pleasant situations and love.

The ability to know and make use of appropriate words to represent one's ideas, feelings, emotion or state of mind in writing of verses or lines and stanzas makes a good and wonderful poet. Reading the poems of great poets, seeing and learning from them- how well they wrote, arranged and used words appropriately to represent their feelings or emotion, which enabled the message of their poems passed, can help one as well to write better.
