How do I poetry?

Answer :

answer:Wow, my mind is on auto-correct mode. I was sure that the title read “How do I write poetry?” until you mentioned that that the title was silly. Then, I still couldn’t figure out what was so funny about “How do I write poetry?” Some forms of poetry have a very strict form, such as haiku and limericks. There does not need to be any set structure. A lot of poems don’t rhyme. All a peom has to do is to sound nice. I would suggest that poems, if they don’t have rhyme, need some sort of rythm or pulse, which is called called a meter(poetry). The entire play Romeo and Juliet is written in the Iambic Petameter meter, which make the whole thing one long poetic piece. The link doesn’t show up right, the (poetry) should be part of the URL.
