How to be a poet

Nathan, the great unboring, asked me to contribute a post to his Mad Skillz week. It's a nice ploy for getting other people to write blog posts for you (as well as sharing the love), which I am wondering how I can imitate. I wrote about poetry, which is a little hilarious I admit. So all you poets out there, go over and tell me what I should add/subtract etc. Nathan is projecting his deep issues over here I think, when he really does know how to be poetic.
