Just a few days ago, I just picked up a few poetry books to help get me started. They’re just two compilation poetry books; not by single authors. I want to read a lot of poetry so I can learn how to write poems of my own. Considering that I gave up fiction writing a long-time-ago, I figure poetry will be a great thing for me. Learn how to write my own poems, and then try to turn them into songs. I’m not gonna learn how to write poetry by reading those “how to” things on the internet or instructional books. The real way to learn how to write poetry is to read as much poems as you can by other poets. That way you can get your own creative style. I’ve should have taken up poetry years ago. I just want to change my songwriting direction around. Like I previous said before, I no longer want to do the story-teller kind of thing. I want to be the poet kind of songwriter.

It’s not like I’m going to become a published poet — maybe, I will try to publish poems, don’t know — but this is just something for fun. A new hobby that I want to do. Of course, I’ll probably publish some for this blog. Not gonna start writing poems yet, but gotta start reading first. I really want to get into this, and this is something I could be good at doing.

I could try to start writing poems right now, though, ’cause it’s good practice to start immediately.
