Poetry Tip: Don't Communicate

[NobodyNothing]

I had a few mantras when I wrote poetry.  I don't know if this one directly applies to the subject of the thread or not, but anyway...never explain, always express.

[Leanne]

Sounds like exactly the subject of the thread, and good advice.

[Erthona]

I think that's a good way to say it, much better than don't communicate. Poetry is not explanatory writing and it is true that if one has been writing for a while it's easy to forget that someone new to poetry would not be aware of that, self evident as it seems.
