I hope you are not discouraged. Please don't think you suck at poetry.
Discouragement becomes inspiration. I keep saying I appreciate harsh, honest critiques. Feeling discouraged will not stop me, and I appreciate your concern as well.![]()
I know I will probably get in trouble, but may I play with your words? Maybe even a poem about a discouraged poet can be found in them. I am not trying to rewrite your poem, just pointing out the wonderful words you have written.
Yes, I love seeing my work in someone else's creativity. If there could be a whole thread dedicated to rewriting other poems, that would be my favorite thread.
Ascend crooked steps
to broken walls:
Smudge a faint sky
(memory is shaded
beneath grey tiles)
draw a ladder
with a tree,
throw my body
to the ground,
Paper White.
I hope you find comfort and peace today and are inspired not to give up.

Thank you!
