For me, the inspiration comes from hurting more than happiness. When I am hurting, poetry just comes naturally for me...

poetry comes from the heart. it is so moving and so beautiful and sounds so good to hear. i think that everyone should be into poetry.

Discover as much as you can about the poetic craft. Read lots of poetry. Meet other poets. Become part of a poetic community. Get a mentor who will guide you. Attend readings and workshops. Take writing classes.
