Falling in love with a dame is probably your best bet. The poetry will naturally just flow out.

writing is just guided dreaming

Why do you have to write poetry? How about be a reader instead. Just because you can string some words together does not mean you should pursue it.

I am only really moved to write poetry if i feel strong emotions. Otherwise try writing a stanza or story-based poem.

Fuck all these people. Writing is a learned skill. It's not something that people are born knowing how to do. The only truly intuitive interface is your mother's cock, everything else has to be learned.

Some suggestions:
A Poets Guide to Poetry, Kinzie
Singing School, Pinksy
A Little Book on Form, Hass

Try imitating some of your favorite poems. Don't feel the need to write about love, or nature, or birds, or injustice. Write a poem about your friend or an amusing situation. Or your mother's cock.
