Her Soul Is Set Free

Is it ALWAYS bad to have a few cliche lines in your poetry? Or is there any appropriate time for it?

No it isn't always bad to use a cliche, but in general it's if you say something original, if you're new to poetry it best to avoid them like the plague. we tend to write cliche without thinking and that's why they weaken a poem, once you can write a few decent poems without cliche, then you can play around with them and have some fun.

that's true. Most cliches are thought of unconsciously...thanks for the response.
