What does it takes to be a poet?  
A creative mind and soul 
Bump starting with  
Daring inner voices. 
 
Visualisation,  
Imagery, metaphor,  
Get into Dreamy world 
Solitude place  
 
Drafting, re-draft and revision 
Choose your subject matter 
Let your inner gut instinct and intuition 
Guide you along the way 
 
Create moody feeling 
Dreamy and day dreaming 
Context, stanza, forms, tones and lines breaking 
Writing in different styles 
Get rhythm and rhyme to choose you 
 
It doesn't mean a thing if 
It ain't got that swing and flow  
Re-read, re-write and revise 
To accomplish  
The finest poem
