Break ranks and use words like ‘asse',

Experiment with metre,
Forget it,

Remember alliteration, gargle with gargoyle, garble,
Use giant, great, gorgeous stupid words like onomatopoeia,
Pentameter, and discard these concepts or build on them.
Devise New words like :
'shilm' : the sensation of touch, felt, gliding a finger across glass or film, or a highly polished surface, such as that of a piece of varnished furniture.

Explore the archaic and colourful language of your own and foreign worlds, ‘ka' , ‘Shewn', ‘pancer' ‘haute mot' ‘dideridoo'
Notice and check spelling and grammar, or ‘diss' disrupt their practixe.
But above all, take heart and write.
Write great, stupid, fine, muckle, verse, pin it to notice boards, send it to friends, enemies, neighbours, the local religious centre, write it in cards, paint it on cars, cut it out of paper, paste it as wallpaper. Bore people, enthuse them, slap their fat cheeks red with it, bite their juicy asses, be funny, daft, serious, thoughtful, emotional, insightful, political, polemical, philosophical, contradictory, angry, religious, spiritual, factual, lyrical, whimsical, patriotic, loving and /or esoteric,
BUT WRITE !
