Steps to Poetry Heaven
I’m generally off and on with writing poetry. Whenever there is an event or happening in my life it can inspire poetry. Here are my steps to poetry heaven:
Luckily the top step has only occurred in a very, very slight way a long, long time ago.
What do your steps to poetry heaven look like?

I’m not very good at writing poetry. But I certainly agree with your steps. Most profoundly, the “Event” and “Love” steps can be used also to produce some of the best poetry, songs and stories in the world.
When it comes from the heart and from your experiences, this will definitely show through in the poems you write.

I like your site; thanks for visiting mine. I agree regarding the top step. I don’t have so much the anger–but the rest and the top step (feeling like dying at times) get me writing.

When I was a lot younger, I tended to write poetry when I was sad. But I have always written poetry to express a range of feelings and emotional experiences, mainly because the form of the poem enables ‘more’ to be captured in ‘less’. On these occasions, prose just took too much time or effort and never quite captured the depth and poignancy of the mixture and complexity of thoughts and emotions. That’s been my experience anyway
Keep writing poetry. It’s a wonderful healing device! Lucy
