skye,
'Inside Your Poem' is instructive and solid. You made good use of lists for your examples of creating a poem worthy of publication or winning a prize in a contest.
Well done.

Comment from Judian James
This is very good Skye and helpful to many aspiring writers. Your ending thoughts are exactly what I did for a year and I finally took the plunge, contacted a publisher and was accepted for publication. My book came out last month!! But I seriously wrote EVERY day, whether I wanted to or not for a solid year to get to the point where I felt I was ready. Waiting to hear from the publisher was a bit agonizing, but hey, it's all good now!

Congratulations. Being published is my aspiration, but still a long way down the road.
I am glad you thought this was helpful for others. Thank you so much.
Comment from Donovan
These are wonderful suggestions. Rules...I am so good at following rules...why....I live by them. Some of the words sound like diseases. Good pragmatic advice. I will write a sunshine poem..with warnings.

I am always glad for rules, as they make good boundaries. I am happy that you liked this, and anxiously wait for a poem from you. LOL
Comment from VICTIMEYES
5. Imagery - appealing to the senses
7. Metaphor - comparing two objects for greater meaning to one of them
your numbers five and number 7 lines seem to appeal to my writing more than the others, but a nice write to be understood and used.

Hi Skye, as I'm an apprentice poet I really value all the sound advice you've given here. I keep threatening to buy a book on poetry, but find I learn a lot from my fellow FS family.
Thanks for sharing this information. regards jada

Comment from learning_to_write
I have to confess that I rarely write poems, they just don't come to me the way a story comes. I found this to be very helpful advise, and I liked how you included some styles of music.

Comment from Annelisa
Great information! I forgot so much of that from my poetry lessons in high school.
Few nits and suggestions:
a clich(©), but solidly true.--You may be able to correct this, (I'm sure Evil.E. had a hand in it) Under advanced editor, go to insert special character and see if you can find what you need.
(T)he following are some guidelines to help make your poem stronger and leave the reader with concise, well-crafted images. --Capitalize
For the checklist:
It may be easier to read if there was a line between each point.
Otherwise well done! I'm going to bookmark it!
