Here is a great resource for developing poets:
http://www.firesides.ca/poemtips.htm
Coin Ward put it up about a decade or more ago (yes, Ray, that Colin) as a kind of primer for developing poets. You can read through the whole thing in about 20 minutes but it is jam packed with concepts in poetry and about 80% of the questions I see come up here are answered there, slightly more elegantly than I ever seem to manage.
I re-read it just the other day and it reminded me of quite a few important concepts.
