Becoming a poet
Writing
Love Shayari Urdu involves not just scribbling in a notebook, but also undertaking a way of life, one in which you value being creative and sensitive. To write good poetry, work to do the following:
Discover as much as you can about the poetic craft. Read lots of poetry. Meet other poets. Become part of a poetic community. Get a mentor who will guide you. Attend readings and workshops.
Take writing classes.
Become as sensitive as you can, both to life and to language. Figure out your personal sense of what is beautiful — both in life and in poetry.

Make time for yourself to write. After all, if you don’t write, you’re not a writer.
Be disciplined. Rewrite your poetry again and again. Don’t settle for using clichés or other people’s language. The idea is to find out what kind of poetry only you can write.
