The best thing I've heard about writing poetry is that it should be a discovery. Start with the emotional basis or the idea and let the images take over and see where they lead you. Experiment with imagery, the sounds of words, and other poetic devices. Or find some poetry you like and try to write poems like it.

Or you can go at it the other way. Some of the most enjoyable poems I've written began as simple exercises in sound. They began as word play, experiments in structure, just fooling around with language. And then an emotion took over. Something inside that maybe I hadn't even consciously been thinking about took over the images and something weird resulted.

Good luck. I gave it up because it had turned into a hell of a lot of work and I wasn't enjoying it anymore, but if you can have fun with it, it can be rewarding.
