Please Humor Me

I read it, but I don't know anything about poetry. I also cannot take poetry seriously, except in a few cases where the author seems authentic. That is probably a very stupid opinion about poetry.

Great start! Biggest suggestion is to avoid all cliches though, or really overused things like "be my miracle" or "death."

The most important thing about being a good poet is being original.

Like, let's say you want to talk about death or feeling like dying. You need to avoid saying "darkness, death, nothing, void," as much as possible.

Like, it's more poetic to talk about it in a new way- like walking right into the sun with a huge grin on your face, since it's an unexpected and more clever way to talk about it.

The most recent one is just about being understood by an audience
The one before that is about that guy whose wife was killed by a black bear

Thank you

In reference to Goddamn Miracles and A Miracle Could Only Save One of Us

Don't follow iambic pent, it is annoying to read

They're alright, but nothing noteworthy OP.

You should make one from the heart that is poetic and relatable.
Stop with the imagery.
Imagery like "the sun, or spring, or blah" make me wanna puke.
Imagery is only good if you use it metaphorically.

This is good:

Much appreciated mate. I find it hard to relate to people and end up just writing about stuff I read in the news or obituaries

Afar glimpses of one slip
Keenly fills in alloys of anguish
Settled bliss from the man drips
Clenched his endeavor finish

I liked Torschlusspanik. If you enjoy it, keep it up senpai. Some of em are pretty solid.
