    I love, love, love this book.! Everything you need get you start

    I love, love, love this book.! Everything you need get you started to write a poem is here! It's great for beginners and those who are more experienced.
    It's great for new, budding or those who are just interested in poetry. Even if you're not actually interested in writing poetry, however appreciate poetry a lot and want to know what's happening on the other side, it's a great introduction. It goes through the fundamental steps quickly, touching on the basics, telling you the reasons behind and the pitfalls of writing poetry. It however does not get to the complicated parts, does not branch out too much, and go into the intricate details. So this keeps you informed, interested and in the loop.
    THIS BOOK IS ESPECIALLY GREAT FOR THOSE WHO JUST NEEDS TO WRITE A POEM(S) FOR A CLASS. It tells you everything you need to know in order to successfully complete your assignment.
    This book has great exercises at the end of each chapter, great examples and let me show you segments which anyone can find useful. It's organized into chapters, that are also efficiently organized within itself, leaving you with a clear, logical flow that is fool proof to not get you confused.
    It's great for seasoned writers for a quick glance, review that can inspire many others, or remind one of old tricks that may have been forgotten through times and other complicated theories of poetry writing.

    How to write Poetry

    This is an invaluable book for budding poets, and seasoned poets alike. Takes the mystery out of writing poetry for those just learning. A useful tool for seasoned poets who may think they are writing correct free verse but in fact are way off.
