Leanne asked for newbies input a couple of years ago..
Can't get much newer than me! Please excuse my over enthusiasm.
Write poetry, and ask for critique from someone more advanced.
Read lots of poetry, and also about poetry, different forms, etc.
If you don't understand, ask or you might never find out.
Read critiques of others poetry, it's a completely objective point of view, that can be really enlightening.
Always try to improve your vocabulary.
Don't be afraid to write bad poetry, and never stop learning, writing and growing.
Oh, and enjoy writing it! Thats gotta be number one for me, otherwise what's the point?

I relish writing bad poems, if it means someday I'll write a good one.
