To celebrate National Poetry Day and to celebrate we've got one of the UK's biggest poets to give his top tips.

Joseph Coelho is fresh from judging the Premier League Writing Stars competition alongside former footballer, Rio Ferdinand, author Lauren Child and pop star Olly Murs.

They looked through 25,000 entries from young aspiring poets to find the best poem on diversity in the UK.

So how do you judge what makes a great poem? Newsround went down to Premier League poems HQ to see the judges in action.
