Take this poem and read it

Take this poem and read it (or not, I was just suggesting you might like it… or maybe need it… oh, nevermind).

Deborah wonders if poets need to do a “better job of writing with an audience in mind.”¹

Seth suggests that people might improve their writing² if they think like bloggers. He offers 9 tips:

1. Use headlines.
2. Realize that people have choices.
3. Drip, drip, drip.
4. It’s okay if you leave.
5. Interactivity is a great shortcut.
6. Gimmicks aren’t as useful as insight.
7. Don’t be afraid of lists.
8. Show up.
9. Say it.

What would happen if poets adapted those nine tips into their poetry?
