I used to work as a film extra years ago and was impressed by the craft of the people who made sets and the way they contributed by getting articles to look used and natural and fit for the period of the film. I thought about my skills with looking for the right word, mixing unusual with everyday, etc. for the purpose of a poem being like that.

Not sure I agree on this. My son learned to ski beautifully in a few hours. He is 12. Never seen anyone do it that fast with writing. I am very bad at skiing and good at writing.
