I am writing to you from the biggest drought in recent history where I live, waiting for the rainy season to come.... Poetry, in my case, is similar, drought followed by a storm of words. I think the best thing to do is to propose it and forget it, not to force it, until at some point the mind goes into poetic mode... Of course, it's all very personal, and everyone has their own particular method. Your poem, by the way, is not bad at all, it's far from being an "attempt", I hope you can write more often! Have you tried writing without rhyme? Maybe you can let the writing flow better without the pressures of rhyme. Cheers!
