How Do You Become A Poet Writer?
What is a poet? Obviously, a poet is someone who writes poetry but someone who carefully chooses words to create pictures in peoples’ minds by selecting words for meaning,beauty and sound. Poetry first began with storytelling, and tribal storytellers used rhymes to remember history. Early tribes told their history long before anyone figured out how to write it down. Even medieval kings and knights listened to poetry and songs at the royal court. Step 1 Search for poetry books at your public library, school library or garage and yard sales. Consistently read poetry. Reading poetry is the best way to learn how to write it. Check out Internet poetry sites as well. Remember, poetry goes through ‘styles’ much as fashions and fads do. If you’re a ‘stand-up’ poet, your work is still changing and becoming an actual art form. Step 2 Go to the nearest big bookstore and pick up poetry magazines. Spend time reading and comparing poems and poets. If you can, subscribe to a poetry magazine or two so
