Advice to a poet
Take your time
Don't just try to rhyme
Put meaning into every line
No, it doesn't have to come out right
Just write
It's fine
Every piece reviewed and refused can later be renewed
Break it down and then stick it together with crazy glue
Don't mind if they call you crazy - you
You are an idealist in the realist eyes
But they fail to realize
Reality is dynamic
Blocked?
Writer's block!
Do not panic
Use that block as a corner stone
With pen and paper
You can build a skyscraper
Just take your time
May be a few minutes, a day, a week, month, a year
Just write
You don't want to look back and say that you left the life of a poet
Stay right here

Thanks for the comment Colin. I have encountered so many people that testify of being done with writing poetry and it really saddens me so I was definitely going for persuasive.
