Help needed with lyric writing/poetry

Okay, I have a few questions:
-How do you write lyrics? What metaphors do you use? What is the difference between lyric writing and poetry? Does it come naturally or do you have to be in a certain mood/set of mind?

I would like to write more poems again and maybe start writing lyrics. I have no idea how to write lyrics though nor where to even begin. If someone could help me out, I'd be very grateful! Thanks a lot!

Good luck. Can't wait for you to stun us with your lyrics. Wink
