It's obviously pretty novice, and the subject matter is r o u g h, but I don't think it's bad. Needs more art to it, but I think it'll evolve.

Just sprang out of my head while I was in the shower and I scribbled it down while it was fresh. Never happened to me before.

Great! I’m not much of a poet, but I can imagine it’s a great creative outlet.

I love reading poetry and am most of c/poetry, but didn't think to try my hand at it. Nice to do something creative.

What kind of poem was it? You can share it here if you'd like.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ok. Hope it's not too trite.

Oh it's the free verse kind. I don't think it's bad. A good poem (of any kind; I specialize in sestinas for example) is one you can feel, and I could relate to the vibes.
