I’m feeling you JillI need some romantic poetry lines that would attract a girl.
I have loved you from the very moment we first met ~ and you took my breath away
And here _________ years have passed ~ and I love you even more each day …
I like many mainstream poets but I’ve recently discovered the work of Richard Brautigan and fell in love with his quirky, offensive beat-style poetry. What other poets might I enjoy? (I’m looking for people I probably don’t know already, not popular poets)
thanks!
I love brautigan. William Carlos Williams comes immediately to mind. I’ll revisit this and add more when i get home from work.
Gary Snyder is probably closest of the poets the guy bellow me listed. I’d add Robert Creeley and Phillip Whalen. But these guys are more of contemporaries than they are similar in style, same with Bukowski, but you will probably like them anyway. I’d take jeffrey harrison over jim harrison. I say williams first because he was brautigans hero as a poet, and the poet that brautigan drew the most from in the creation of his style. Some less established poets you might like are David Romtvedt, Rob McLennan, and actually probably the best way to find great lesser known authors is to find a lit mag and indie press published by a brautigan fan- Kumquat Meringue, mailable jangle, and blue fredrick come to mind.
A couple non poetry recomendations if you happen to like brautigan’s prose as well- diane williams, ben marcus, gertrude stein, julio cortazar.
trying to find a poetry book for my wife its our first anniversery.
Can’t go wrong with Maya Angelou. She’s the popular one these days.

I’m editing a friend’s poetry for a contest but I’ve only ever edited stories. I don’t know anything about poetry. Can someone explain or give me a link to a site about poetry grammar? How it’s laid out, how the punctuation is supposed to look. I’ve seen poetry with lines at the end of sentences—-
Like that… What do those do?
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!
I also mean things like, is every line capitalized? Things like that.
There are fewer rules. You are trying to condense language in a poem, so shortcuts are allowed. You can ruin grammar, if meaning or image comes through.
Line breaks and punctuation are there as clues on how to read the poem, where the breaks are in breath or in ideas, and less for following grammar.
There are structured poems which scan or rhyme, free verse which has no rules, but only works if the writer is really good, prose poems which are more like free form themes.
This is more about "does the idea get across", is the language beautiful, does it sound good out loud?
