/lit/ - Literature

I'll start, here are a couple lines of my own poetry I am in question about
>spleen splattered in sheath/my arms cling desperately around his neck
Same poem, some 30 lines longer
>floating atop a mud of pain/ soaking into the clouds

The rest of the poem is basically perfect, but I'm having trouble with these two parts.

>tfw writing just isn't fun anymore
I used to write every day, but now my inner critic and age urge me to write something "good." But I don't know what "good" is, and when I look back at my old works and ideas, I feel like they were better.

newfag here how do i into /lit/?

I literally know nothing about Christianity. Like nothing. Can someone show me a reading list? I have no idea wtf the old/new testaments are or gospels.

how do i into poetry?

Wait, so can aesthetic via prose actually be considered the pinnacle of literature and poetry? How can that hold up on an international stage, where it's likely that an individual can only ever hold real appreciation for his native language, which he has spent years coming to understand the nuances of?

Wouldn't philosophical concepts, the exploration of themes, and the creation of characters, capable of being understood cross-culturally, be the core of what's literary?
