To Compose A Poem

To write good poetry
is such fun, you begin
with a rare episode
in your life, or other's;
Depth is emotion's code.

To write good poetry
build on experience.
It requres expression,
good imagination,
poet's destination.

To write good poetry
ne'er lose heart things go wrong,
you grow some when you fail.
At times tough at times fun,
most times friend, you just sail.

To write good poetry
appreciate others
be a good sport, comment;
read more and you'll write more,
and live in the moment.
