Answer:The most imperative, profound, and yet most simple advice first up: Keep it simple.
While writing poems, the area most non-native English speakers err at is, in trying to make sentences and/or words rhyme for the sake of it. This is the easiest way of identifying a good poet from an average poet. The point to be understood is: rhyming is not important. There are several varieties of poems; indeed, the coolest thing about poems is that they do not have to have a defined structure, sentence length or count, or rhyme scheme. The only common thread running through a poem is consistency of style. And that style can be structured or unstructured, with or without rhyme. Also, the most critical element for a poem is the flow. The reading or recital of a poem should be one smooth unbroken consistent flow.
This said, a rhyme scheme does add a poetic touch, a hint of melody, to a poem. But it should be provided if it comes naturally; it should not be forced, for if forced, it comes across in the reading or the recitation, which leads to a break in the flow I mentioned earlier.
Don’t use big words and difficult vocabulary for the sake of it. This also ties up with the very first point: keep it simple. There should be an easy flow, a fluidity, in reading any written piece; it should not feel harsh to the mind. Flow is to reading what fluency is to speaking. Simple words used judiciously in simple meaningful sentences can also provide for a great joyful read. Think Ruskin Bond.
If you want to add glamour to the written word, there are many techniques to achieve this: the use of idioms, anecdotes, humour, wit, or sarcasm, and metaphors, similes, and analogies. Again, these should be made use of as and when needed, and not with an eye to ‘stuff’ a piece with these embellishments. Remember, glamour looks good in contained measure.
Write naturally, simply, and most important of all, honestly. By honestly, I mean: honest to oneself. To one’s strengths, and knowing one’s own weaknesses. Writing for the audience might be luring, but not at the expense of drifting away from one’s natural style of expression.
Don’t always trust plugins and tools like Grammarly. I have it set up on my post as I write this piece, and while it is a great tool to have as a backdrop, its suggestions are not to be blindly followed. Grammar and spell-checks are a must, yes, but they are to be used as assistance and not as proofreading.
The most important elements, apart of course from the Grammar, are clarity of thought and how it is structured. Read what you have written as an unbiased reader and give yourself honest feedback, before taking it out to the world or to any other person for a review.
And finally, read. A lot. Writing is to share your thoughts, reading helps build them. Apart from giving ideas and opening perspectives up; reading different styles, kinds, and genres of material helps develop writing skills by giving new ideas on sentence formation, articulation, use of language embellishments, foreign words et al.
