oh look, a fellow hack. 
phil;
no i'm saying write from a point of view you're best writing from. if you've never taken junk, write as an observer. if you'vce only observed it in the street then that would be an obvious choice of POV but imagination can always play it's part and we could imaging how someone else using in our family would affect us. there are lots and lots of shit were we can use imagination instead of experience. i'm on about specific incidents. losing my virginity, getting drunk, being chased, (not the virgin kind of chaste
) falling in love, out of love, most of these thing are what we bring to a poem. and that can suffice, but for a specific write on a tangible subject like flying an actual plane watching a game of football etc we have to have been there to know who cantana was and how he spoke of throwing fishes to the seagulls that follow the boat. (he was a french footballer who played for man utd) you poem of ants and the yellowjacket, you had to know at least a little bit, maybe you read about them or saw something on nat geo. when i say we have to have been there i mean we have to have witnessed it. we could do that through print or tv or real life but something we have to know in order to write some poems that are based on specific realities.
