Don't write love poems when you're in love. Write them when you're not in love.
An act of imagination is an act of self-acceptance.
I think it's better if you write poems that look like you.
You are someone and you have a right to your life.
To write a poem you must have a streak of arrogance-- not in real life I hope. In real life try to be nice. It will save you a hell of a lot of trouble and give you more time to write.
