jehansuggestions:

for the poets who follow me:
don’t press yourself to write something with perfect rhyme or perfect metric, first because it’s not mandatory and second because the more you limit yourself, the harder it will be to improve your writing.
keep your freedom, write whatever comes to mind, open your heart to the words.
don’t be afraid of mistakes or absence of rhymes or if you don’t write like that famous poet everybody loves.
don’t compare yourself with anyone, you are unique.
and the format doesn’t matter that much, what matters most of all is the content and if poetry brings something good in your life. keep writing poetry.

(if you don’t write poetry, reblog anyway to motivate a poet friend)
