Expanding Verse Writing Capabilities  Most writers of poetry write verse based out of the “need” to write. This may be caused by an emotional trauma, a physical dilemma, affliction causing strife, or an overwhelming sense of euphoria, for instance. Whatever the reason, most writers of verse will tell you that they spent anywhere from five to twenty minutes on a piece, called it “done” and never went back to it again. The reason is because they felt a “peace” or a “satisfaction” by being able to express their feelings. Expression through poetry is wonderful, however, that does not make the poem publishable, nor does it make it interesting for the general readership. Poems are like short stories. They need to progress from a beginning through to an end. Verse needs to appeal to an audience. In order to be considered for a general audience, it needs to appeal to an expansive audience. The Poetry Addies provides specific, innovative tools for writers of all ages. And because The Poetry Addies is interactive, you will enjoy the feedback from others in your writing network, family members and/or friends.

Explore the Imagination  Some of the fundamental ways to achieve greatness in written verse is to write unemotionally, intuitively and spontaneously.  Poetry is the art of words and just like any art, continuous practice makes for individual perfection. In addition to unearthing diverse rumination for writers of verse, The Poetry Addies offers specific exercises which develop the creative thought process.  You will learn how to think beyond yourself and write for the reader.The fundamental importance of poetry is its interpretative and identifiable properties. The Poetry Addies will teach you how to optimize the flow of each expression allowing for a wealth of interpretations. Additionally, you will learn how to write to identify with the reader’s emotions, not your own.

Conceptualize, Visualize, Materialize  Three main keys to writing exceptional verse:-  Conceptualize feelings and thoughts -  Visualize the words -  Materialize the expressionExpound the Ability to Interpret VersePoets must also read poetry to understand the art they are creating. Too often, aspiring poets will say, “I write poetry, I do not read it.”  This is one of the detriments plaguing the fall of poetry into the catacombs of its literary subculture. Quite often, poetry is not read due to its complex spiritual and inner nature. The Poetry Addies provides strategic methods for decoding the meaning of verse. With line-by-line dissection techniques, logical inference schemes and broadening overall summation skills, the full value of reading poetry is fully realized. By implementing The Poetry Addies methods, reading and interpreting poetry is no longer a mind boggling experience, but rather, an exhilarating journey.

Increase Introspection Awareness Through Dissection of Verse  Poetry is unequivocally, an incomparable genre. It is through reading verse that we are able to better understand our own feelings and thoughts. Reading poetry provides us with an understanding that would otherwise continue unnoticeable. Poetry opens doors to our inner selves that would otherwise remain closed.  Introspection is vital to our existence and reading poetry cultivates and nourishes that essentialness.

Relate to the Identifiable Properties of Poetry  Reading poetry can sometimes be frustrating, based upon the complexity or non-complexity of the verse. When reading verse, it is important to identify to the picture the author is representing. With The Poetry Addies, interpretation is made simple and therefore, the identifying aspects are clear.
