The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.
Epictetus

practice, practice, practice
poets practice
penning poems
at the park
and at the parking lot.
they practice, practice, practice
painting pictures poetically
by producing poems aplenty
in everyday of their poetic life.
practice, practice, practice
poets practice
by putting pen to paper
in order to produce
pretty potent poetry.
they practice, practice, practice
penning page after page
of playfully put together poems
that when packed together
produce piles of poetic pieces.
poets practice
by putting pen to paper
and penning page after page
of prose possessing the power
to pack a poetic punch!
practice, practice, practice
poets practice
by playfully picking apart
bits of prose
and packing them into poems
that point to peace
as the present people state.
they practice, practice, practice.
by painting pictures poetically.
potent poets personify poetry.
they practice, practice, practice
by pretending to perform
pensive pieces in poetic form
till they're panting from painting plenty--
pictures poetically!
