i think sometimes cliche works but generally it weakens a poem by making it or part of it too generic.
You still have a life in front of you
to be filled with new love.
It is just around the corner.
You simply need to look up,
and that is all it takes,
the above for me is the type of cliche that weakens a poem.
i have no suggestions apart from make it non cliche or make the cliche interesting ones
what would you think of that stanza if it were written by someone else and posted in novice, what would your feedback be?
you have lots of good and some great lines in the poem enough that this stanza is buried, but it doesn't make it a good stanza worthy of contributing.
of course that just how i see it, others may think wow great stanza
