Poetry eh? That brings back some memories. Well, for me what my trick was, was I would choose a topic I was really passionite about. It didn't matter really what the topic was, just as long as it was imporant to me. Then when I would just think about it and try to express my feelings about it. Most of the time I had a habit of never actually mentioning what I was writting about it my poems, this is a way to make your poems seem a bit more deep and mysterious. Anyways, when you're thinking about your feelings on your topic, just try to let them consume you so to speak. Get completly caught up in them and let them overwhelm you. Then write! The best poem is one that is written from the heart and never forced. If you get stuck on something, just stop writting it, go back, and just think some more. When you feel you've finished the poem, then it's time to go back and be all critical about it and torment yourself over all the spelling mistakes you're bound to have made (for some reason it always happens).

Also, the most important thing to remember about your poems, while you know that other people will be reading them eventually, that doesn't mean they're made for them. Make them for yourself and only yourself. The only expectations you have to live up to are your own and no matter what anyone else says, if you write a poem that speaks to you, it's worth any critism someone might give you down the road.
