I love to share my knowledge of poetic creation! I’ve often been asked “What makes a good poem?” Here is my condensed list of what I feel contrives  good poetry, and none of these is necessarily right or wrong, but subjective.

Send me a sample of your work for feedback, suggestions or even just to spark a conversation.
