Call your friend a retarded-psued-normalfag and keep writing your poems the way you like them. Then kill yourself because your poems are an exact replica of yourself, which is to say worthless rubbish that no one with any sense will truly love or care for.

Holy shit dude this website is making you bitter. Seriously this cannot be healthy. I don't wake up with the urge of calling strangers names.

>>19173199
This site is for self-loathing misanthropes you dunce.

I'm right at home; where the fuck are you?

>says "why does it look like it was written in the 17th"

Do you guys genuinely believe this actually happened? No one in this shit hole writes and that should have been your first clue.

Who hurt you? Let's unpack this.

OHOHO HAVING A NORMAL ONE ARE WE? YOU DO KNOW THIS IS A WENDY'S, RIGHT? TOUCHED GRASS LATELY?

where do i start with poety? i have a genuine interest in learning to appreciate it, learning to write it etc but i dont know where to begin. i have a book of various poems, but when i read a poem i dont really "get" how im supposed to be reading it, like some times it moves from one line to the next at seemingly arbitrary points, how am i supposed to interpret that? how am i supposed to interpret meter when reading a poem? and writing one?

I am so pissed off with this commentary that I'm going to redo it. Wish me luck

Read The Ode Less Traveled. It will go through meter, form, rhyming and all the different elements of poetry

>>19173250
i will look into it thank you

>>19173184
Share the poem

>>19173250
I second this recommendation, it goes through all the fundamentals of formal meter.

>No one in this shit hole writes

I have written numerous poems, short stories, and novels, and I have had several poems and stories published.

sounds like you have a bad case of baseditis

>send poem to a friend
Problem located

To me the unbelievable part isn’t the writing, but the having a friend.

>>19173381
Same but I also haven’t written a word since 2009
Feels weird

Never share your work with your friends. It will never work out.

>>19173184
95% of the users on here write outdated shit like yours. You can appreciate old-fashioned verse all you like, but generations of poets with more skill than you have already exhausted it. Time to carry your appreciation into the current era, m8.

lol no

>>19173625
Stay unpublished and unappreciated, then. You guys don't actually want to be helped. Keep whining about your friends hurting your feelings.

>>19173618
I bet you read contemporary fiction.

>sends poem to irl friend

What the fuck did you expect? That's weird dude. We are the only friends you should be sharing your poetry with.
