I'm sure everyone will say pretty much the same, which is - Read, read, read lots of poetry of all different types and write, write, write lots of poetry of all different types and then repeat the process forever. Perhaps others will come in with more specifics but as a general rule the read lots and write lots is the best way to go. Only once you have read a lot of poetry you can start to distinguish between what is good poetry and what is bad poetry.
The other thing that will help immensely is critiquing poetry, although if you are new to this then you will probably be thinking "But critiquing is so hard", which it is in the beginning, but trust me it does get easier. I know that when I first started on this site I was terrified of critiquing and never knew what to say, whereas now I can honestly say that I quite enjoy it because it helps me to understand the poem better and ultimately helps me to understand poetry better.
Most definitely.
