Touch the petals. Watch and write. A poet is a dreamer. Daydreaming is necessary to make your stories and poems take on a life. When I am absorbed in my writing, I close my eyes or sometimes I just stare blankly into space.
Poets are very eccentric creatures at times.
I have learned to embrace my eccentricities, and you will too. Brainstorming allows the mind to breathe free. You should write down almost everything about the subject of your poem that comes to mind. You must be careful not to use too many pronouns when writing your poetry. Try to let the poem speak to the reader without too many pronouns like he, she, and you getting in the way.
