I may joke about poetry being like a disgusting bodoly function, an excretion of a spiritual fluid; but, more often than not I make poetry like I build furniture from scratch. Milling the raw lumber, shaping the individual pieces, putting them together with mortices and tenons, and working to make it into a coherent, stable whole.
