You have to be very rythmical, use monosyllables with ver
distinct sounds, think musically. It's always been helpful to me to just grab a poem and

made weak/ by time/ and
fate/ but strong/ in will/


to strive/ to seek/ to find/ and
not/ to yield/


see? If you want to find words I recommend
you to read the poems of writers such as Ezra pound, Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gary
Snyder, Gregory Corso and Charles Bukowski.


I also
recommend to read haikus in english, they will really help you to simplify your ideas
into fewer words: Jack Kerouacs haiku are pretty good.
