What Makes It To Turn Into a Poem

I wish to be a poet 
So I keep writing poetry 
Without knowing any technique 
Nor I know anything about it  
So I blindly use words rhyming 
At the end, in the middle or beginning  
But slowly I learn though it enhances its sweetness 
But hampers the way blossoming the theme
So I need a shift which I take 
And turn to tell truths  
By virtue of their convictions  
They become books of logic or philosophy 
But they never become anything like poetry   
Again I need a change which I take
And set to use figure of speech 
Then, they become 
‘’This is like that 
That is like this ‘’
Again I need a change quickly which I take 
Since then at every point 
I keep changing 
 Like a river 
And let emotions flow like water 
 Still I wonder
 If they turn into a poem 
Or remain a stream of gushing murmur.
