@efarley25 Honestly, I had like 2 followers before I wrote 'If I Die Today'. It has a lot of reads and votes, but that was not what I was going for. I don't want anyone to think I wrote that poem only for votes and follows, because I didn't. I kind of just got lucky. I appreciate every comment, vote and follow and I would be happy even with only 5 reads on that poem. My point is, Poetry has helped me a lot, try writing some! It's made me a better writer and has gotten me more notices. Hope I helped(: If you wanted different advice, well, I'm sorry because I cant give it haha. Poetry is the base of writing and will help you a ton, if you do it write(; that's all I can say!
