Am I here?
Am I really here, and not something that just blew in the window?
It's a nice day outside, I desire a coffee. The sun on my back, a breeze on my face, a lid to keep the bugs out. I'm not that deep.
As a matter of fact, I'm shallow.
Am I here?
Am I really here, or am I just hollow?

suffice?

Is the question?
How do I make exciting writing?
What do you mean by standard structured outline? This if phrased right may be an interesting topic.

I'm sure the writers would have something interesting to say.
Just your luck to hit a comedian. I'll but out.

When I'm writing a poem I usually know what I want to write generally. Say, for example, I want to convey myself at a certain age doing a certain thing: going to the ocean, reading in my yard, whatever it is. I don't so much ask myself questions, though I try to picture very specifically the images I want to convey and think over what words would express them clearly, so they really reach a reader. For example, what color was the sky? Well, all skies are Βlue or gray though that is very general so what shade specifically? Were there clouds? Did the sky have a textured quality, did it make me feel a certain way when I saw it? And I can never have too much detail at this point, in my first draft--I can always take things out when I edit. These are things I'm considering over and over with each image or action or idea I wish to convey in my poem. And I've done it so long and with so many poems that it is pretty well automatic for me now. Βut you have to start somewhere and forcing yourself to either recall or imagine every tiny detail is a good way to start. Then when you read what you've written, you can decide what is "exciting" and worth keeping and what isn't.

The other thing you can do is to read a lot of others' poetry and see what you find exciting in those poems, what qualities those things have. If you can do that you can try to do the same things in your own writing. That's how I've learned. Hope this helps.

I try to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, which when you try it, makes you realise how little any of us actually use our eyes.

Most of my poetry is narrative. I want to tell a story about something which happened. It may have happened to me, or someone I know, or I just made it all up. It does not matter, which.

I have never been much for writing a poem about a vase of flowers.

For me,exciting elements in a poem means framing the scene so the reader places themselves in the narrative. They may be a character or just a detached observer. In either case, they want to know what happens next.

In poetry, you really can't get more excitement than that.

When I write one can assert I am in an 'excited' state, no longer in my ground or base state. The result may or may not be considered exciting by either author or reader. Sometimes there is exhilaration in writing, especially first draft, but a lot of times its work.
