Message	Most people have a hard time writing without using ’I’ or ’My’ in every sentence. Try creating a write that describes something concrete in nature--for example--a rose. Or try using verbs at the start of your poem.

Message	Hmm. that is a hard question. Maybe start off with verbs. Like instead of using I see flowers use Seeing Flowers. Write it in the present tense like it is happening at the exact moment.

Message	It really depends on the topic you’re writing. While the excessive use of "I" is frustrating still, even in first person poetry, it really is one of those things that is difficult to avoid. My suggestion is that you make a first draft, leave it to itself for a little while (we’ll say a day), then go back and find all of the places you used "I" or any variation of it and see if there are any that you can change and make it sound better.

Message	I’d suggest you find a nice quiet spot someplace, where you can shut everything out and actually hear your own thoughts. It works for me.

Message	try making your work less specific. Instead of saying something like ’I feel sad’ try ’rain enters a soul’
