And thanks for sharing Congo! *Chin up!*

Thanks for reading guys! Glad you like it. :)

Well, to be honest, it is a bit of both. But the most important part is having good vocab and being good with language structure.

Still, you need to have a feel for the poem or you will end up just making sentences that rhyme.

Things that help me:
1- never attempt to write a poem about a subject that you do not really know and understand.
2- be honest, for a lie never comes out sincere.
3- read a lot of poetry
4- have a motive (when there is passion, you can do anything)
5- whenever you get the want to write, do it. I usually wake up in the middle of the night with a line in my head, i keep repeating it till i get to my laptop or a pen and paper, and the flow comes.

I hope this helps my friend, but please know, it is the concept that matters. Whether you put it in an essay, draw it in a painting, sing it, put it in a poem, or take a photo, it is the concept that matters.

Sorry for the long speech.

I most certainly do. If you had sent me a message saying "nice done" I would have learned nothing. Thank you for the advice. I have used lots of Ellipsis ever since I was in school and always got the same remarks. It has become a habit while I type and I hate to alter anything I have written. Not even grammatical mistakes. To me, when I write, and especially poetry, I am not the same man. I be in a state that happens rarely and usually amid my sleep. I just get out of bed and start writing.

Anyway, I think I should try to remove those three dots out of my mind. :)

Dear friends,
Thank you for the warm welcoming. Means a lot to be here and I hope that my posts will be up to your expectations.
