1) The rhyming dictionary and thesaurus, at least to start with, are your friend
2) Listen to artists that understand how a song is composed (structure wise). There are a lot of these guys out there, and you'll learn a lot more about songwriting from listening to them. The Beatles, Buddy Holly, Elvis Costello, Bob Marley, The Kinks, a lot of Van Morrison.. All are/were fairly good at understanding what a "song" is structurally composed of. And you'll get some inspiration too.
3) Forgot.. ALWAYS have a pencil and a little notebook handy for whenever the inspiration strikes, or you just need to get a nice line down. Don't leave the house without them.

"good" can be subjective. First off, what is a "good songwriter" considered to be for you? I've always felt a good songwriter writes what he or she feels strongly about. If that person wants to make a difference and influence people, then that songwriter will write a song that he or she feels strongly about and will hopefully have an impact on someone. But more or less, it comes from the heart, and not something that everyone will agree on just for the sake of winning fans over.

A poetry class can help you learn how to create verse.
