Find someone more knowledgeable about poetry or songwriting or art and ask if theyll show the way. One good place to find experienced people is on Internet

Mentor, a board focused on workshopping poetry or songs is a good place to go. We have a few linked here: http://www.poetryrenewal.com/policies/links.shtml
