regarding pronouns:
Joe is littered with pronouns, but I had felt like it was a pretty good poem when I wrote it.
Now... I wonder if it is terrible... ???
Also... I tried a rewrite on Three Men... working on showing rather than telling.
both the original and the rewrite can be seen in the link.
fixed the above link
[and since this is not a fix bad poems thread, but a discuss finer points thread, carry on ]
Now... I wonder if it is terrible... ???
Cassie, you and I have already spoken on this. I will say this here as well and maybe a little differently.
Poetry is channeled through you. Some words are perfect, some cliche, some work better in one piece and not so well in another. It's all relative. Being so, an expert can tell you your poem is terrible and yet someone else may find it pleasing in their own way.
Take what you can from expertise, ultimately though, it is still you behind the quill, writing, and that is no small thing. Write, write, and write some more, your poems are what they are.
Some poems never see the light
Or go unnoticed and forgotten
They are poems still and not nothing
A piece of someone's soul
A gift for all the world
Priceless and yet freely given
Celebrate them all with me
