    i grew up learning that poetry is so structured and confusing, and i just can’t get away from that pattern of thinking

      I used to have this same exact problem. It caused writers block so bad. Once I let go of that, I’ve written the best poems that have moved even myself. Even if it’s just two lines. I rhyme when I feel like it, but most times I’ve got too much to say and it feels too restricting. If it’s a more profound thought, I just let the pen take it away. Sylvia Plath is a great example as well. Sometimes what she does is she sprinkles a rhyme or two in there and just goes off without rhyming again. And I don’t always understand her stuff, so in order to gain an appreciation for it and try to dig deeper, I go line by line and look up explanations on what she’s trying to display, or to understand the general gist of the poem and what she’s trying to convey. Look up a bunch of different poets to get inspiration, old and new! What’s awesome is everyone has totally different styles from each other, and the more you read the more you start to adapt to that more free way of thinking. A poet I’m really into right now is Shay Alexi. Her and I have very similar styles of writing in the sense that we add a lot of imagery and metaphors to our stuff. My favorite poem by her is “And This Time The Butter Rejects The Knife.” I’ll link the video, she is an INCREDIBLE writer! Sorry for the lengthy comment, I just hope that if you’re into writing that this helps you to be more free because it truly is such a therapeutic and amazing outlet to have!

      Hey @Henry Heller,
      Your comment in itself is poetic, I tell ya
      I like the rhyming of “confusing” and “thinking”
      The lines also have a badass rhythm
      You should consider expounding on this foundation
      To complete a poem, yet to be seen in this nation
      Truly, truly express how you really feel
      About your misleading ordeal
      I’d love to read your impending hit
      If you’d care to share it.😉
      Blessings!🙏🏽

    I have written this poem
    *Address to the Rain God*
    I sat gravely before the window,
    watching the dark that laid before me
    profoundly thinking for a moment or so,
    about the Showery world that I could see.
    And up the heaven, I looked henceforth
    Towards the paradise, till the eye's sought
    'What makes him rain such?'
    'Brutish he is' is what I thought.
    Above the world I looked far end
    And beneath came the God of Rain
    Thundering the skies and the heart of men
    stiffening the shower that had went insane.
    I stood there aquivering with fear
    for he stood in front of me
    and asked me for my remembrance
    knowing well that it is he who caused it.
    Politely I said with tongue no less,
    "This world is beautiful with creations unparallel"
    But the unstoppable rains have made such mess
    Why don't you stop that you shall!
    'It is you the humans', replied he 'who pray for rain'
    The rain that quenches the Earth's thirst
    Deepening the swift streams that long last
    And then calling for it to return to the den.
    And Oh! the inner me felt deafeated
    But I stood there losing no faith
    But that was prime, this is subordinate
    "Has the thirst, vanished not yet!"
    The rain has caused havoc on crust
    The temporary world is biting the dust
    Fields overflowed by the tyrant rain
    'Floods and rain', are they same?
    The king of splashes was pleased with me,
    At least what I thought from what I saw
    And replied with a strong voice
    With the winds added to his draw.
    Glad are you, jolly are all,
    Happy are you when the rains do fall.
    Irrigating the fields," the mother earth weeps
    For the joy, that water beneath seeps.
    The joy lasts shorter do remember,
    For nothing lasts Forever
    and sorrow after joy is a chain of cycle
    Each in it's time is completely great
    So he told and so he went
    Leaving an impression that long lasted
    Shaken was I and ended up in faint
    Oh the conversation was just what I dreamt.
    The story still doesn't end here and I ain't,
    For it teaches that nothing is permanent.
    Time heals everything, just wait for the day
    For joy and sorrow both are great.
    Joy comes after Sorrow, misery after happiness
    Just don't look behind the eternal fence.
    Life is not a bed of thorns, wise men say,
    For a man on alms is a king next day

    When I heard the clouds roaring
    I remembered his words
    They were soft but harsh
    Like the drops of rain
    Calmly falling on my window
    While my eyes looked outside
    Through the edges of my tears
    I remembered
    The tone in which he spoke to me
    The body language that made me realize
    I was someone not worth mattering
    I wish, I wish I could stop things
    At that time
    But all I have now, is soft but harsh raindrops
    I just wrote first time with 0 thoughts, plz give opinions

      Good foundations to build upon. As with your poem, I like to start with a narrative. My advice with this is to show more, tell less. Use imagery and metaphor to illustrate aspects such as the harsh words. There is imagery here already...I'd say develop that further 😄

    my first poem lol.
    She was claustrophobic
    Trapped in those sturdy walls
    The sturdy walls of the castle
    She was a princess
    The most gorgeous princess of them all
    I was the knight
    I visited her often
    I protected her
    From all her worries
    She trusted me
    The feeling was mutual
    Until one day
    She fell in love with the prince
    He was so charming
    Something I could never be
    I don’t blame her
    Thus we were both women
    I never got my happy ending
    uh yeah that’s my first idea. a lot of poems i see have multiple stanzas or spaces in between the lines, but i’m not sure if and where i need any.

    I've played around with some poetry in the past. This is my stab at it
    A simple introduction was made
    I knew in that moment
    My world started to become frayed
    And this was going to be potent
    I feel my world melt
    Safety and security comes over me
    For I haven't felt
    This free
    Flowing through this cathartic river
    I see the authentic
    I begin to shiver
    To this antiseptic
    Envisioning a bright new day
    I am seeing the way

    Taking the pressure off has been so important for me.
    I always loved poetry and I always wanted to write poetry but because I wanted to be amazing at it from the start I kind of spoiled the fun/ beauty of it for me.
    I pressured myself into writing about big themes such as love and the meaning of life and death. But by doing that I didn't allow my thoughts to flow freely. I realized that for me the only way to write good poetry is to stop trying to write good poetry.
    Pressured writing will never be able to make you feel the same emotions as writing that flew freely out of your mind

    I have been writing poetry for many ayear now, however it has come to light i'm dyslexic. Which in all fairness has not surprised me. I took an english class starting at the botton of course, as my writen english was so poor. Now coming to the end of my three year course, I am more able to understand what it is im writing. I am still dyslexic , that will never change and does make writing different. I have never been to college nor have i ever been taught poetry. Yet it seem to come from , like you said " deep inside". I have shown my wirting to one or two people and i have to admit, they loved it. Obviously not all my writing is good , far from it ! I'm in my 50s and want so much to write nearly every day. So i have been lookiing for guidance and happened to stumble across your youtube channel today and found it very insightful. Thank you !

    This is my first poem. It may be long, but I felt it was right. Please feel free to give constructive criticism.
    ||is it just me||
    Is it just me?
    As I walk down my road of misery and terror
    I always think, "could I have done that better?"
    All through my life of anxiety and dispare
    Was I never good enough for them there?
    Is it just me?
    Or do you feel this way too
    As if when you walk you have to just stare at your shoes.
    Never making contact as you think all the eyes are on you.
    But it's just the spotlight effect messing with you
    Or is it just me?
    Having this thought of whether your liked or not.
    Its crazy i know but why not, Why not feel the knot growing and growing within your heart.
    Aching for love and aching for joy?
    Aching for fun and aching for the happiness.
    Is it just me or is it you too?

    im 14 and i wanna start writing poetry :3, like half a year ago i tried writing a poem, it wasnt that awsome tho
    "if i could claim words, id take 'i dont know'.
    why? i dont know.
    'i dont know' fits almost everything.
    "why did you hurt yourself?"
    "why did you go crazy?"
    I dont know, sometimes there is no why,
    i just.
    did.
    why would i know? im just a child after all, or am i only that when you need me to be?
    im only really "too young" when you want control.
    you take advantage of the fact that
    i really don't know"

    Back in time,
    When the butterflies had yet to be turned to stone,
    When i couldn’t imagine you hurting me so,
    I would.
    A summer sunset,
    Nervously waiting in the car.
    Waiting to finally meet you,
    I have to say, I was not dissapointed.
    Your smile just like i’d imanged it.
    Your voice just like i’d dreamed.
    ''If i only knew all the tears you’d cause.''
    My head screamed.

    I would love to have reviews on my poem:
    Titled: Don’t let go of my hand
    I think back to the night we met
    Like touch of a ray of sunchine on a beautiful day
    The first touch of your soft skin, I will never forget
    As we talked and laughed the night away
    The first sight caused sparks to fly
    The first touch caused an eruption, the fire ran high
    But now here I am with my hart in my hands
    Frozen in time
    What has happened to us, I can’t understand
    How can love bring us here, it’s not really clear
    But my love, please don’t let go of my hand
    I promise, together we will fly out of here
    And don’t be afraid as we fly high
    For I will never let you fall into the sand
    My love please don’t let go of my hand
    I will make you understand
    That we can be happy again
    Stay in my arms all along
    We will hear our harts singing a song
    Letting us know, to whom they truly belong
    (My first poem)

    Great tips, Adam. I just discovered your channel and will be checking out more of your videos.
    I encourage my students to keep writer's notebooks - to do poetry exercises, to play with language, form, rhyme and metre. My favorite exercise to give to students is to take an ordinary object, give it human or animal characteristics, and then make it dance, walk, or fly. My example was turning a sidewalk into a snake, slithering and hissing its way to town. This allowed me to use so many other great poetic techniques. Poetry is such fun and so is playing around with words and language!

    When I was young, people were suggesting that we didn't like Shakespeare, but we did, we were fascinated with him, especially the fact that his words are still relevant today. He is our culture, at the moment there are many people who try to rid us of all that is important to being English. One of the reasons that I have stopped paying for the BBC TV licence.

    But I know that I must stay away
    Cause your love shines bright
    Shining like the morning star
    And Im merely a shadow in sight
    Admiring and loving from afar
    To be loved by a person like you
    Is like to be loved by the sun
    Though it hurts and burns my eyes
    Never will I stop looking at your beauty up in the sky
    People often tell me
    That love is a gamble
    Are you willing to sacrifice?
    Or are you willing to stumble?
    I know that for the greater good
    I must stay away
    But how can it be so
    When love is the one that stay
    But to tell you so
    With all my heart
    It belongs to you
    From the very start
    From the very start
    I am yours
    Even if you're not aware
    Even if you do not care

    My first poem
    You say I shine
    but thats your bright light im reflecting
    You say Im strong
    But thats your dominance im presenting.
    You say you love me
    And I say i love you to
    I absorb your love as energy
    And it keeps me going through
    You love me and i love you more
    Without you i would have no core
    And id simply be nothing at all

    This is a poem I have recently wrote called
    Don’t let it.
    Don’t let the darkness keep you down.
    Don’t let the darkness fool you.
    The darkness knows all of the right things to say .
    To keep your mind a stray.
    It lies
    It cheats
    Until you it defeats.
    It has no mercy it has no code.
    It wants you to believe that you are all alone.
    That you can’t seek help.
    That no one would listen.
    It wants you to believe that you are not worth missing.
    You are worth it.
    Nobody is perfect.
    Let the light help you escape the mental prison that you are in.
    Let the light guide you away from the greatest of all sins.
    Let it fight away all of the demons in your head.
    Please let it help you before you end up dead.
    Is it okay that I write this way? I can never seem to write on happiness.

    And rid my soul of burden
    albeit with an empty heart..

She absolutely loved it so I set this high bar for myself but I don’t really know how to write poetry. Now I’m trying to study up on writing poetry so I can keep it up.
    Part of the poem I wrote goes;
    May the locals spare you from their lutefisk
    I caution you not to take the risk
    For it is merely year old fish preserved in lye so they don’t die from E. coli

    The pain he possesses: its about time he confesses,
    He loved you more then… the world could manifest it.
    He broke himself down, It took him some time;
    to realise this night was his last to say bye.
    sorry for the mess, you realise hes done - so does everyone’
    But He will smile once more as he knows thats what she adores, the boy she once saw standing there at her door.
    He feels his souls gone this world is so raw, he wasnt made for it now but maybe once more,
    pray for higher power..to guide what for? a brighter day before… he leaves for sure…
    Its a matter of time, dont ask why’ hes not looking for help he did this to himself.
    First poem probably makes no sense to anyone else but lmk if it does 💔

    I want u to look at me everytime I call you
    Cuz u are the one who made my life new
    I can't think of a better way
    Instead being with you everyday
    There is no other place
    Just a glimpse of your face
    This world Is so small
    U are my everything my all
    I have u sunshine
    when it rain
    U gave me laughter
    When I was in pain
    U love riding in stars
    But I want to be with you underneath the stars
    U love me I know
    but when I am with you I want this time to be slow
    This world is so small
    U are my everything my all
    Pls guys give me your opinions it was my first poem

    Anyone open to giving me criticism?
    -
    Death of a loved one
    -
    The funerals been over, everyone went home
    I stayed besides your grave, yet I didn't feel alone
    Your soul was present, keeping me company
    I gazed at the flowers--empty, and rather gimmicky
    Your laughter lingers like a ghost in the air
    Such as echoes of memories we can no longer share
    I stood up, burdened by the weight of your absence,
    Each step feels like walking through fire, steeped in silence.
    I traced your engraved name, my heart heavy and sore
    Each letter passing by makes me decay even more
    And how I regret taking our time for granted,
    For I wish we can spend one more evening, where our time is enchanted.
    I poured my heart out, hopping you'd listen.
    I know we are worlds apart, yet I don't stop wishing.
    I long to see your face, bathed in sunlight's glisten.
    And feel the warmth of your smile in every sweet rendition.
    I'll try to carry on, or atleast try to exist,
    Until one day you reach for me and guide me into death's mist.

    LOST SOULZ
    Some say nothing gold can last forever
    And 2 believe this eye need no proof
    I have witnessed all that was pure in me
    Be changed by the evil that men can do
    The innocence possessed by children
    Once lived inside my soul
    But surviving years with criminal peers
    Has turned my warm heart to cold
    I used 2 dream and fantasise
    But now I’m scared to sleep
    Petrified , not to live or die
    But to awaken and still be me
    It is true that nothing gold can last
    We will all one day see death
    When the purest hearts are torn apart
    Lost Soulz are all that’s left
    Down on my knees I beg of god
    To save me from this fate
    Let me live to see what was gold
    Before it’s all too late.

    Strut at the pace time is moving
    Stepping to that song
    But then enters something cloven
    Depths he dances on
    Clutch to me this creature fallen
    Let me into hell
    Tell me is this my true calling
    Breath speaks of a tell
    Yelling I can’t see his logic
    Death rings it’s null bell
    Please now demons stop this haunting
    Vault of all who fell
    Death dealt by such macabre things
    Halt under my spell
    Breathless calls unto my coffin
    False light of jewels
    Only to him my response is
    Fallen to his rule
    Golden flames that keep me blinded
    Laws of the cruel
    Goofy poem bout goin ta hayell
    Also gosh why are all of these in the comments so romance driven
    Also I did like a haiku thing with the 5 7 5 syllable pattern, and just basically wrote five lines instead of three and then did four of those like an extended haiku. I was inspired by haikus and old timey lyricism since I’ve been living with my grandma. Also the rhyme for first and last words of each sentence is AB CD AB CD AB CE FB CE FB CE FB GE FB GE FB GH IB GH IB GH. Next I’ll try to use as much center rhymes as possible to see how much rhyminess I can cram in there. Any comments or advice? I’d really enjoy constructive criticism.
