Thank you so much @elementm. I hear you, and I shall strongly adhere to your kind advice. Furthermore, I am deeply humbled by the amount of effort you have shown me - so again thank you.
I shall definitely be following up on all the things you have enumerated but yes, I indeed would need your help in putting my finger down on some of the well-credited Writing/Poetry Contests as I did try looking for some but most were very much outdated and presently were not being conducted. Again, I thank you for your guidance on the matter.
Absolutely, I shall certainly be composing and posting more poetry very soon.

Cheers :)
