Read lots of poetry and also standard books that teach poetry writing. I prefer 'The Poet's Guide to Poetry' by Mary Kinzie because it gives so much bang for the buck but it is somewhat advanced. There are wonderful books available on poetic meter, and I favor Derek Attridge's 'Poetic Meter'; it is the bible of rhythm in verse. Write lots of poems and don't be afraid of rewriting, editing, and sometimes throwing them away. Keep working at it and you will be good.

Just like yourself I love reading and writing poetry. I've been writing since I was 7yrs old. And there many ways to get it out there. First all you can find a literary agent who specialize in getting poerty published. And if you want to find one you can google one. Get your poems copyright and find an agent. And if you want to go to college take up some creative writing classes. Ay more question feel free t ask best o luck to you.
Theres a place I know of in Washington DC that does all the major copyRights. What you can do is Google Copyrights and I'm sure some will come up. And you can take courses in English Creative Writing and maybe Journalism. If you have additional question please leave it in my inbox

I say get a degree that will help your career in getting your poems noticed. like for now keep your writing as a hobby and maybe go study Arts because poem writing comes under that or take a coarse in poem writing like look at the coarses they have inregards to peom writing...i think it would come under ARts
