I've learned to do it a bit, but I find it tricky. Poetry is a mixed bag. Some of it may describe things well enough for the author's purpose, but much of it thinks that poetic license is something poets should have, while I look at what they've done with it and have another opinion about whether most of them should've gotten it. | |

| Jan 29, 2019 at 1:30 | comment | added | Chris Sunami | @EdGrimm - It's more that I think we all tend to be best at writing the things we love and pay attention to. I love conversations and stories, so I'm good at dialogue and plot. I'm very unobservant, so my descriptions are shallow. Admittedly it's a generalization and might not hold for everyone. // I'd guess if you are observant, but not good at putting it into words, you might want to spend some more time with poetry. | |

If you think that poor describing skill is the same as poor observation, then you probably are much better at figuring out what words you want to say relative to how well you visualize than I am. | |
