Adding poetry to make your character more "archaic" or "romantic" or even just a bit cooler is actually extremely easy! usually for the more dark and depressive of characters, poetry Rp'ing is unique and fun.

step one. Rhyme rhyme rhyme! making your sentences rhyme is one of the most basic ways to add some motion and flow to your posts! and thinking of good rhymes can be fun too! (IF YOU CANT FIND SOMETHING THAT FITS TRY REVISING THE SENTENCE!)

step two. flow! making your sentences flow is crucial! just randomly rhyming stuff will never work EXAMPLE: Death? death is winters touch, cold and hard, and black, it chill.. unbearable unthinkable.. too much. Dying.. an adventure filled with glory.. a test of faith and blood...a never ending story..

step three. finalization!!! if your done typing your now immaculate masterpiece, go over your entry.. check it a couple of times! say the entire thing out loud to make sure it flows. correct any errors, and maybe add something!

now you have my basic advice on making your post more immaculate!
if anybody has any questions or any advice for that matter please feel free to post! (or if im offline please PM me!!)im looking forward to seeing you out there!!!

If you're going to talk about writing, please clean up your punctuation and grammar. I think most people who take poetry seriously would have a minor heart attack from reading your post.

Elloquence is certainly an effective tool for making the written word more attractive.
Perhaps you shouldn't focus entirely on poetry but would do better to include prose, however. A well structured paragraph with rythmic choice of sentence structure and vocabulary flows just as well as poetry, but remains distinct from it.
Poetry is still a good idea, though. Don't get me wrong. A Variety of writing style is always more interesting.


And the skillful use of color doesn't hurt either.
Not to take my example as a good one, though.
