Guide to Writing Poetry

I was going to tell you about how beautiful the sun looked sinking
below the horizon line from my back pouch the other night, 
but I can't,
because this book I was reading told me that words like horizon 
should not be used in a poem.

I guess instead I need to be more specific 
more poetic
and tell you about how
from where I stood
on a half rotten slat
on my back pouch
I watched
the sun give up the day 
and breathe it's last
giving in to the night
like a toddler
at first refusing
with all his might
gives in to sleep

but upon further reading I can't
even tell you that
I won't bore you with why
I will just convey that
I may be able to say 

that the sun sank
like the heart of a twelve year old boy
upon reading a note
written by his crush
telling him she likes Roy
but that they can be friends

and then I need to go on
to compare the suns sinking
with all the colors it leaves
                streaking
across the sky with the passion
that even after rejection
still burns within the boy in question

and after that I can mention
the night 
and talk about all the stars dotting
the emptiness burning 
oh so bright
tiding the boy over 
until the dawn returns with light

light of course being hope 
and hope being the theme of the poem
which can never be named by name
but only in hints
I can say
that hope does indeed reign 

which would only open
the door to me
describing rain
and from there
I could tell you about pain
and hint again
when the clouds
dropping the rain
and by that
of course
I mean pain
parted 
allowing light from the sun
to dry the rain
from the pain
and bring back the hope 
which perhaps
then 
I could hint
is only held in vain.
