hei, can anyone recommend books to learn how to write poetry? i just need the rules, styles.. basically the tools for the job. If you also have some tips about unmissable authors for inspiration i'd be happy

for the past 8 years i've been dreaming about my first love. last night's dream was the most bewildering experience i've had for a long time. I was telling her, within the dream, that i had been dreaming about her for years and she told me she did too. i was literally feeling her presence and her body and then her kisses. While all of this was happening i started to think i was inside a dream. But then the feelings came back and i told myself: this can't be a dream, i can literally FEEL everything i'm experiencing, and i believed it.

Is this a brain malfunction? how is this to be interpreted? why her visions keep haunting me like it all happened yesterday while it's been 8 fucking years?

read "the denial of death" by Becker.
It's unironically what you need
protip:
>you're afraid of life before actually being afraid of death
