"Writer's block is a phenomenon involving temporary loss of ability to begin or continue Writing, usually due to lack of inspiration or creativity," so it states in Wikipedia that encyclopedia in Internet land.

The thing that will make the connection with your reader is the internal conflict your protagonist has to go through. This is what makes him or her human and this is where you have a memorable impact on your reader.

The style of Writing poetry differs from person to person; long or short meters, three or four lines to a stanza. But the great thing is, no matter how a poem is written it still holds great emotion. Some techniques used in poetry are onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance, rhyming, simile and metaphor.
Onomatopoeia is one of the easiest to learn and use (but not spell). The definition of onomatopoeia is a word imitating a sound. For example; "buzz", "moo" and "beep". This can be used in a variety of ways giving the reader a "hands on" feel.

If you don't really know what you're Writing about, people can tell, even if they're not an expert on what they are reading. It's called the 'credibility gap' - and it can be bridged with effective research…
Most people who write for a living will tell you getting it right takes
about 10% actual Writing time and 90% research. Knowing what to write
before you write it, and to whom, might sound like an obvious place to
start, but when you're under pressure to meet a business Writing
deadline, the obvious can go out of the window. It shouldn't though,
because even when you're up against the clock, the whole process of
Writing your content will become easier if you put the pen down, sit
back from the keyboard, and consider it first.

Okay, so you've decided that you want to write for fun and profit, and not
necessarily in that order. Perhaps you've already abandoned your day job to
pursue your dream of the full-time Writing life, or maybe you just want to
test the waters part-time until you have the guts (and money) to jump in with
both feet. In any event, you've decided that you want to start your own
Writing business.
Now what?
