How can I write poetry?

I would love to write poetry and my life is very hectic at the moment so I have alot to write about but I just don't know how to start and I would love some suggestions.

Here are to poems I have written,
(no title)

Blue sky
Plane Soaring
Standing inside, parachute on
Open door, two metres away
Beckoning me to dive
Excited,
Determination,
Flying away with the wind,
Silence,
Slowly, I walk to the edge,
I look down, and dive.

Falling,
Spinning,
In the air,
Flying all around,
Parachute opens,
Gliding,
Safely to the ground.


Every Day.

Every day,
She walks, all the way,
Five miles to the river,
Scooping up, a bucket of polluted water.
Walking back, bucket on head,
Back home,
Surrounded by rubbish,
Finding food for her 6 brothers,
This is what it's like, every day,
living in poverty.

Please, I would love to write poetry I just can't do the start. Please help.
(By the way, I'm only twelve so no fancy words)
