Hey pal,
I like reading poetry books,
I'm planed by them.
You just lost your bet
by pretending to know what I do with my friends.
Let me tell you something
you will never be a good poet
full stop.
Yes really!
It sounds you ignore the trade secrets
I don’t give tips
to write great poems
so don’t waste your time
asking me.
Poets discouraged to share tips.

Planing to be a Poet
Dangling my participles
In naked streaks through cloud
Letting my prepositions all hang out
Dropping an F-Bomb on a Japanese crowd
Fuk Yu! I shout aloud
Magnetron's Poetry Tip of the Day:
Don't take any poetry tips from Magnetron.

On Planing and Other Woodworking Secrets
Keep your blade sharp
and flat on the wood.
Draw the tool steadily
toward you and pull
strongly through knots
and bolls to expose
beauty in the grain
of the wood you shape
into something marvelous.

Love this, and with permission will send it to my canoe paddle making instructor.
But then I am a literal sort.

I had a teacher once give me the same speech, but it was shop class.

Still getting my mind around 90 degrees anticlockwise.
Avoiding life, my advice would go something like this
read
write
read
edit (throw 2nd above into trash)
repeat

Get your head out of the clouds, there boy!
pick up a shovel
and go grow some muscle
why be a whitman
instead of a hitman?
learn to dance
or maybe sing
play the piano
or something with strings
take the book from neath your arm
balance it on your head, then
learn you some charm!
follow the money
whatever the scheme
play the lotto
live the big dream
twirling the words?
I know it sounds fun
don't be a fool, son
what about the long run?
