Tips for writing better poetry

What can be explained is not poetry. ~ William Butler Yeats Cover design by @ubiquitously

Mastery requires genuine effort, dedication and patience. This collection of short poems is my follow-up book after "Brevity". I am overwhelmed by the immense support and love that I received from the poetry community here on Wattpad on "Brevity". I hope to continue writing these micro poems and write better every time. I update when time and passion allows me to do so. Thank you for reading. #1 in #micropoetry on 20/02/19

The hopeless romantics write Eternal songs of delight "Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love." ~ The Prophet (Kahlil Gibran)

Brevity is one of the most compelling and beautiful aspects of poetry. I am always fascinated by the ability of a poet to distill thoughts, ideas and emotions into words through concrete imagery and word-play. In this collection, you will find short poems ranging from haikus, senryus, cinquains, shape-poetry to free verse. Everything is short, concise and to the point. Nature is my biggest muse and most of my poems reflect that; although I deviate to other aspects of human behaviour like love, hate, jealousy, anger, money, etc. from time to time. Even though this collection is complete, I update and edit it by twerking my words and adding images as I feel limited by the font and structure choice offered by Wattpad; especially when it comes to shape-poetry. If you liked this book, consider adding it to your library or reading list. Your votes, comments and feedback are highly appreciated. Thank you.
