What are some cliches to avoid while writing?

ITT: Questions you've always had about a book you've read, but have never been answered.

what do you guise think of my poem

THIS IS JUST TO SAY

I have eaten

saving

Only note, the abrupt end caught me off guard as I felt another strain of whimsical word play on the self meeting the self.


Nonetheless, thank you for the entertaining read. Could you link me to more of your work perchance, were you in a previous issue? Or justfuckingpublishstuff. :D
