Thank you for your kind comments. In response to your question I suggest the following:
1. Read everything you can. It is important to study what has come before. Go to the library and get a poetry anthology and see what speaks to you. Reading will inspire you, add to your knowledge base and increase your vocabulary.
2. Break out of your comfort zone. Get out and do things new to you. This will increase your base to draw on for your writing.
3. Keep a journal of ideas. Have one with you at all times even by your bed. When that moment of inspiration hits do not wait write it down then. Even a few words or a phrase is food or thought.
4. Write! This may seem simple but try and write everyday. It will help you develop the habit and improve your writing.
This list is not complete by any stretch but I hope this helps.

Thank you very much. At practice yesterday this came to me as my Sensei and I crossed swords.
