how do you write poetry

How do you write poetry? Someone asks me. I am not the one to ask. For I have no idea how it happens. I just throw down some favorite words I love to watch them dance about, Adverbs chasing verbs, nouns snatching up adjectives Before I can have a thought, These favorite words create something on a page Sometimes it is a story, Other times it is a cheer or a song. They need me not at all. I am merely their means to get onto a website.
