Quality poetry is a good way to evoke the emotions and imagination of the people who read it. In order to write good poetry, you need to be able to establish rapport with your readers and offer them imagery and ideals that touch them deep inside. If you want to write good poetry easily and effortlessly, there is a powerful technique that you can use to help you.

When writing poetry, use the following techniques to invoke your imagination, establish rapport with your audience and present your ideals in a meaningful way to the reader.
1. Decide on your concept.
2. Brainstorm your concept.
3. Randomize your content.
4. Establish rapport with your targeted audience.
5. Unleash your subconscious imagination.
6. Walk away from your poetry
7. Write your poem.

Deciding on your concept is the easiest part of poetry writing. In order to do this, you just have to decide on what you want people to take away from your poem. Whether you want them to see love in a new way, or to see the harsh concepts of war or challenge them to improve themselves...you need only to decide on a concept, or several concepts you want to tie together.

After you have your concept, you need to brainstorm that concept in order to get an organized sense of what you want to say. Without really thinking about it, jot down (or type) a number of phrases, ideas or words related to your concept. The more you come up with the better.

Once you finish brainstorming a list of concept related ideas, the next step is to randomize your content. This step is similar to brainstorming except instead of trying to find things related to your concept you are looking for things that don't have any obvious connections to your idea. The point of this step is to challenge your conscious and unconscious mind to find new connections and ways to view your concept.

Once you have finished with brainstorming and randomizing your ideas, the next step is to gain rapport with your audience. At this point, put your list of words, phrases and ideas to the side and just close your eyes and relax. Allow yourself to imagine being one of your audience...try to imagine how you would look at the situation or idea. The better you are able to put yourself in their role, the better you will be able to write poetry that they can comprehend. Take your time with this step and really allow yourself to step into their role, their life, their mindset. As you find yourself entering their mindset, you will find it easier to write poetry that they can respond to and feel.

Once you have connected internally to your audience move into the next step...which is unleashing your subconscious imagination. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax as completely as possible. Ask your subconscious mind to provide you with the words, ideas and concepts in a way that will allow you to write a good poem. Continue to relax and mentally visualize what you want...which is a quality poem. Imagine reading the poem and enjoying what you wrote. Tell your subconscious mind that your goal is to produce a quality poem and ask it to give you the words you need to accomplish your task. Continue to relax and internalize your goal of a quality poem for several minutes. At some point you will get a sense of having successfully empowered your unconscious mind...at this point just wake yourself up and move to the next step.

The next step is easy. Walk away from the poem for a while. Go take a walk, do some chores, or do something that gets your conscious mind away from the poem. This process works much like the "Eureka" concept. The better you can take your mind off the poem at this point the easier it will be to write later.

After taking thirty minutes to an hour to cool off and focus on other things, its time to sit down and write your poem. At this point just try to allow the ideas to flow from your mind to the page. Don't try to force the poem, just let it come at its own pace and allow it to flow naturally. Write until you feel that you have completed your idea, or as much as you are ready to complete at the moment.
