Well I sometimes wish i could find some more poets here. I've decided to write a guide.

Style
One good quality is style it attracts people.

Title.
To make a stylish title I bold my writing, and underline it I also put it in the middle.

The poem.
Have your text bolded and put it in the middle.

NEVER use smiles in your poem. :no:

A dictionary
I don't really mean use a dictionary, but put together a little book or file of words that rhyme. heres an example.

You; do; to; shoe; goo; moo; cue;

They are more rhymes than that in that ending, but thats an example.

Writing

Freestyle.
Although I rarely use freestyle, its also popular but i find it tough to use. When you do use freestyle try to make it seem misty

Rhyme.
Ah my favorite. but it can be complicated. There are many ways to rhyme.

You can use, 3 popular ways.

Mine is making a verse, then make another having the last word rhyme with the last one in the verse before that one.

Another is the same as mine but with four verses.

Another way is to write two verses then write another verse rhyming with the first then one rhyming with the second.

I hope this helps create more inspiring poets on gamers forum!

Nice guide :]
The only time I've written poetry was for school.
It's not so much my forte, I just can't think like that.
Kudos to you.

im the same as ruki, the only times i've done any form of poetry is for school, mostly english or literature classes, once for my music class for practice to write lyrics or something, thats a good guide, i gave you some rep for it
