One very important thing to do first is to be in the right place while writing. Usually somewhere that makes you feel calm and serene is good, but the place could also be somewhere that makes you feel inspirational and artistic. Go to that place with a paper and pencil, and write what you feel. If you like fantasy, write about a mythical place or creature. If you like nature, write about the lush meadows or running waterfall. Whatever feels right at the moment, think about it and let it roll around in your mind as you write down a few things on the paper. Sometimes looking at something in particular helps. Maybe it's a picture, or right in front of you, but whatever it is, just ponder it without stress.
It needs to be dealt with in some uniform manner, however, to look like a real poem, though. As you write, separate small bits of the subject in blocks. A poem can be as long as the writer pleases, but it should be in "chunks" to separate it a bit. As you ponder, it is a good idea to have a thesaurus nearby. If you don't own one, GET ONE, because it will help you immensely. When you sit and are trying to find the right word, but can't seem to find it, think of a simple word that means what you are trying to say, and look it up in the thesaurus. Most poems seem more poetic if they have descriptive words, because they give the reader a picture of the "story" that is being told, and can also evoke emotion.
I spend a great amount of my time writing, and poetry is one of my favorites. Some books might say to think about rhyming or not rhyming, or picking good words, or searching for something good to write about. However, I say that art is free and should be pleasant, and shouldn't be talked about in such a way.
That's about all that I can say. Such an art form as poetry is so free and artistic, that it shouldn't be taught very much at all. I have a "philosophy" about talent and art, and it says this: Technique can be taught, but passion cannot.
