In poetry, unlike essays, the author need not give strong transitional phrases or words to connect ideas, as the conceptions in poetry are shown in such a way that it is evident of the subsequent subject. The images, the metaphors and other devices illustrate your transition. And sometimes, simply a new paragraph can show your transition.
The main reason one should edit one’s poems is to clear doubts. Doubts will cause you dissatisfaction, and a lack of confidence will result in not confronting these penultimate verses. Though a doubt is felt intuitively and is based on the style of the author, there are essential features that cause reason to be skeptical in one’s poetry. The areas of poetic congestion are excess words, unnatural rhyme, word choice (non-exacting and stale), unreachable perception of meaning, and disorganization.
Also, watch your descriptors, or adjectives and adverbs. Many times descriptive words are redundant and on occasion, over abundant. In using adjectives and adverbs, check if your usage of these additives are meaningful and original, or interesting.
Cliché and overused words often times lower a poem’s power and interest from the reader. Worn phrases, metaphors and words can pull down a mood that was carefully constructed in the poem. Colloquial language has its place in poetry, such as when someone is speaking in a poem, or being ironic.
Being ambiguous is understood to be a good sign in poetry, but when a poem is indiscernible or over obvious, the strength has been lost. Read your poem as if you have never heard of your writing, nor do you know of yourself as a person, and see how it f
Word Choice (Non-Exacting and Stale)
Editing is a commonly dreaded word in the eyes of a student, but in poetry it can constitute the difference between a wild, untamed piece and a refined, synthesized creative presentation. Correcting the flaws in your poetry is as much a creative process as writing your initial inspiration. To secure your vision, you are prodded to use your imagination and muse to make the lopsided portions of your poem a coordinated composition.
Unnatural Rhyme
The goal of a poet, in most cases, is to present his or her imagination in words that fully illumine what the poet has seen, or a poet’s vision. If the words chosen do not represent fully what you have seen as your vision for the poem, or particular instances in the poem, then it is not complete. Choosing the best word for your imagination or sight as a poet is not easy, and takes times to deliberate. It is similar to a puzzle - that once all the pieces are aligned, the picture becomes much clearer.
In selecting words to take away from your poem [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], be wary that your poem does not become too sparse. The naturalness of your own language should still show through. Also, one should not compromise one’s vision for technical dryness. The words that you can focus on for carrying weight in your poem where it is not needed are transitional words [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], adjectives and adverbs.

Unreachable Perception of Meaning
Rhyming is entertaining and its sounds are very pleasing. Yet, when a poet writes in rhyme and results in forced tones [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the magic of rhyme depletes. Mostly, it is reliant on flow. If your rhyme seems a natural part of the speech of the poem, and keeps with the mood, the rhyme has a natural resonance. This skill takes a certain qualification: patience. One has to write many poems with rhyme before understanding the subtle nature of making rhyme an instinctive part of your poetry.
