How do I become a poet?

I don't read poetry because most of it's written by women and not true darkness

You’ve never been to a high school were you
but yeah Baudelaire and Rimbaud are good for starters
Horatio is good too if you’re into ancient times

Learn to hear the rhythm of words
At first when I say that it sounds quite absurd
But watch and you’ll see that the cadence is key
Rhyme patterns worthless
Keep nothing superfluous
If you let go and just say what you know
Rhymes come to be just you wait and see
It’s not that hard
Get a notecard
Or write a haiku
It’s not all that hard to do
It isn’t it’s true

You’d be amazed what you can do
If you up and decide
You are capable of anything
The government lied.

>Frost and Basho as intermediate

I don't think this could be more wrong. Free verse is a failed project. Go back to nature.
