Hey everyone, I'd like to start writing poetry but I don't really know how. Do you have any tips, books to read, websites to visit or anything? Thank you ;)

Have you ever been in love or had something taken away from you? You can always start from there, probably you are not coming back but always write down what you feel. Read some of the poems out try to figure out what the writer is feeling and go from there. The more you read the better you'll get.
