I'm not allowed to post in the Practice Thread. can you not, really? If it fits the thread I don't see a problem I understand that. My own wife would want that distance from me.
What is your goal? Have no goal. Humor? Be humorous and intense.
Do you think that poems you write make sense to you all at once? Me yes, but I can often recognize how it couldn't make sense to others, I just need help seeing from another perspective, understood or not
Here's some unasked for advice. And this is how famous poets of the past operated revisions over years. : Music.
If it's musical, it means something. You can revise it, words, all you want. The music is what lasts. This makes sense with most music, how many songs do you sing along to and actually know all the words
How a politician speaks is more resonate than what is said. In politics, that is despicable. In poetry, it is poetry.

Some of your critiques take a rambling nature which I don't mind because I think I follow your narrative, some of your poems are SUPER structured and seem written by someone else, those poems really help me appreciate the rest of your ramblings.(08-22-2021, 11:50 PM)rowens Wrote: Currently this posted 3 times.I try to comment on every line for intensive, to show how I analyze the process from beginning to end, then a synapse of what I think they're getting at as a whole piece.

You have a musical skill/talent Whatever.
Writing poetry, you're coming from an instinct of musicality.
Your mind works that way. You think I haven't noticed?
That is your strength.
You are strong in analysis. I'm not. I'm too forgiving. Analysis plus Music is a Strength in you. It works for You.
Stream of consciousness seems like a Strength that works for You, not the easiest mode to work in for others, I don't like my own streams very often
Would you like to continue this conversation?
