Choose the poems you want to showcase by selecting an idea, style, or subject that will unify your work or join a conversation. What themes connect your poetry? What story are you seeking to tell? Organize and Format In the case of poetry collections, nothing could be more important than how you arrange your poems on the page. Especially in the case of short poems, each word you put on paper needs to make a powerful impact emotionally, with room to breathe and space to absorb your words. Font and text size are important to think of as well. Are your poems going to be accompanied by sketches, photos or paintings? Will there be large amounts of white space?

If you want to be a bit more thorough, there are tongue scrapers available that are designed to help peel that mucus layer off of the surface. These flexible plastic devices should be used gently — if your tongue feels sore, you're using too much pressure. You can brush your tongue every time you brush your teeth. And if you notice a bad taste in your mouth after lunch or otherwise in between regular tooth brushings, cleaning your tongue could actually be the most effective quick freshener! On the other hand, if you have reservoirs of unhealthy bacteria in your mouth, either because of gum disease or an infected tooth, your tongue could be quickly colonized again, and the benefits of tongue brushing would be minimized.
