"It is certain that the present chaos will endure until the Art of poetry has been preached down the amateur gullet, until there is such a general understanding of the fact that poetry is an art and not a pastime; such a knowledge of technique; of technique of surface and technique of content, that the amateurs will cease to try to drown out the masters."

-Ezra Pound

tl;dr your poem is amateur and shouldn't see the light of day. learn technique and come back later.

a tip from the same prose of Pound, "One finds that all the old masters of painting recommend to their pupils that they begin by copying masterwork, and proceed to their own composition." That is to say you should go imitate Pound, Eliot, Auden, Yeats, Whitman, before you begin playing with language on your own.
