When you write a poem, you should find a personal style and a "ideal dimension". What does it mean?
It is simple. Every writer has one or more favourite themes and arguments to use in the poems. In addiction, the poet should ask to himself if he wants to write poems - for example - to share his feelings o for an important/social purpose, like problems of the world and society.
It is always possible to write every time a poem about a different theme or subject, but it is very important to know what we can express with poetry.
The best kind of poetry we can write is influenced by fatctors like:
- Arguments and values important for us
- Life experience (in the past) important, which marked us (in positive or negative)
- what the written word means for us
- Some part of us which we want to share with the world
- Everything we consider important and we can communicate.
