Hey, here are a few articles I'd like to provide to the members of this site because I found them extremely useful.
One of the sites where this is taken from (The Gazebo) is a professional workshop of poetry, with qualified, awesome awesome poets.
While most of us may not be anywhere near that level, we can do what we can to improve.
Here are a few resources.

As I said, the Gazebo is a workshop for professional poets.
I also found one which we all can use, for it starts from beginners and we can make our way up the ladder as we slowly grow. Here it is:

Look em up guys, if you wish to learn a tad bit more about writing than you know already. I found them really useful, and hope you will too.
