Crafting a Poet: Advice from the Internet

Beauty and the SensesPoetry

Find something you love,
Find the place where worries leave,
Find where there are cheerful chirps and a shining light.

Use words that rhyme,
Be sure to keep in time
With your poem, and yourself.

Describe love, emotions, thoughtful experiences,
Or the rusty old gate outside the house.

Lose yourself in the words you write,
Become the message you teach –
Then you will be
What you seek.
