All about poetry
Poetry is considered to be one of the best, most emotional, and most sensual ways to express personal feelings. The word poetry itself contains a great deal of literature and words that relate to each other in the best rhyming way. A poem without rhyme is like a bird that cannot fly. The better the connection of a single word or sentence to the next, the more attractive and appealing it will be to the listener or reader.

Support and encourage poetry
If you never need encouragement in your life, then you are probably not human. If you have never needed the support of friends or family, then you are probably living on a desert island. If you've never experienced frustration or pain, then you've probably never left your room or been involved with another person.

How To Write A Love Poem?
Step 1: Don’t write a love poem Love is one of the most common themes of poetry, which makes it one of the most difficult to write about. Nearly everything to be said and written about love has already been saying and written, many times over. The greatest masters of lyric and poetry have tackled this theme again and again. But don’t be discouraged. You can still write a good, unique, original love poem. But first you must push the generic idea of the "love poem" out of your head. Forget it entirely. Focus on what it is specifically about love that you want to write. Write about a person, an experience, any knowledge you have gained from your own life, and how this relates to love. Writing directly about capital-L Love is too vague, too general for all but the most skilled of poets. If you come at it from another angle, you’ll find it much easier to capture.

Crazy Short Love Poems
I would love to show you how to write crazy short love poems or any other combination of crazy love words. Why crazy? Well, I define crazy as anything out of the ordinary, anything out of the normal patterns you live your life. Crazy for me would be drinking a can of Pepsi. Crazy for other people might be becoming a Republican when they’ve been Democrat their whole lives.
