  2. What goes around comes back stronger. Spread Positive Vibes.
  3. Be Interesting. Be Mysterious. The less you reveal about your inspiration, the interesting will be your poetry.
  4. Engage on post of other poets and use constructive feedback to help each other grow.
  5. Don't bound yourself. Let your emotions fly.
  6. Let the story flow. If you can't feel your words. No one can feel it.

  8. Transform your negative emotions into an entirely positive and inspiring poetry without revealing your inspiration for that poetry.
  9. Let your imagination cross all boundaries.
  10. The combination of a paper and imagination is divine, it gives you wings. ;-)

  12. Be yourself. Go with the flow.
  13. Write about what you knows and what moves you.
  14. Let it flow effortless. If you have to force it, it is not poetry.
  15. Life is a poetry, study life to become a good poet.
  16. The more you read,the better you write.
  17. Be honest. Honesty conveys emotions and expression better.
  18. Learn the rules. Then break them...after all it's your writing, you can do whatever you want with it.
  19. Try a lot of different things and see what you enjoys the most.
  20. Keep your critics close. They're there to push you harder.
  21. Be honest with yourself and what you are going to write.
  22. Be free... whatever your mind and heart says just pen it down. Art has no fear of judgmental things.
  23. Have a central theme for your poetry. Inspire with words as your tool. Convert Heat Energy to Light Energy.
  24. Have various source of inspiration, else your works would be monotonous and repetitive.
