I have been writing poetry on and off for a year. I am young and very weak in my writng and would like some comments on how to get better and how you started out . What makes poetry worthwhile for you ?

Well why not put in a taster of your poetry? That way we can have a look, see what its like. Don't worry, we won't be horrible.

Write as if you love language - write without worrying about meaning and significance - put words together based on their sound and nothing else - put together phrases based on how they sound to your ears. Once you do that and get good at it, then you can turn towards meaning. Poems loaded with meaning that have no language lovely to the ear are generally forgotten; but a poem with vivid, ringing langauge - even if nonsensical - will stay with the reader (whether she gets the meaning or not). Good Luck.

Practice, practice and more practice :) Just write out what you can, like Redzeppelin said, and then take a look back and see what you think you could improve on. Show it to others as well for construtive critique.
Good luck!!
