I don't think competition is the key to getting better. Everyone is right in stating that you get better by doing it, sharing it and living it. Seeing how people react to your poetry also helps out as well. If you can inspire or make different audiences laugh or cry or whatever, then that's something. Not everyone is going to react the same way but if you get a consistent amount of people to react to your poetry, then that helps.
