@ChrisOCookPoetry I want to thank you for your advice, it has helped me very much.
This is some of the greatest advice on writing I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.

“Are you onto something or on something?” – got to use that line!

Right … Title it last. You may get a better idea along the way and make dramatic changes (this should eventually become obvious).

So I just wrote a peom for this poetry slam thing I'm having at school. I really like my poem, but it kinda jumps around alot. Is that cool? or should I try again and stick to one topic?

@Riply1997 - There's no way to answer that without seeing the poem. Maybe it's supposed to jump around a lot, and maybe it's not. For example, "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg is a great poem that jumps all over the place, and "After Great Pain a Formal Feeling Comes" by Emily Dickinson is a great poem that is stuck inside a very small and particular mental space. One poem is supposed to do one thing, one poem is supposed to do the other thing, and each does what it's supposed to do.

Love this, wish I had this kind of instruction in my first poetry class ever.

@Bearibou1 - Well, thanks so much! What instruction *did* you have in your first poetry class ever? What did they tell you, and what should they have told you instead?
