Looking for articles on writing poetry. I am looking for articles with specific practical application. Articles must contain information-or describe skills-that the reader can use or practice in his own poetry writing. A useful article might detail the development of a poem from rough draft to completion, for example, exploring the specific reasons for some of the changes that were made during re-writes. Another useful article might provide practical tips for enhancing imagery, developing metaphors or refining language in a poem. The key words here are "practical" and "poetry." http://www.utmostchristianwriters.com/guidelines2.htm
