The best way to start writing poetry is to read poetry. You have to understand what poetry is meant to do. After you are well-versed in poetry then learn meter and the mechanics of poetry. From there, remember, talent and mechanics only get you so far. It takes a lot of editing, revising, and retooling to get the poem just right, or, at least as close to just right as the poem will let itself be.

Of course. Two great anthologies covering English poetry are The Norton Anthology of Poetry and The Penguin Anthology of Twentieth-Century American Poetry. While I can't recommend them, as I haven't read them, Amazon does also offer a few Hindi poetry anthologies that may interest you. Jul 8, 2015 at 15:42
