Welcome to this little space for poets and poetry enthusiasts to share their original creations and insights!

However, I request that you refrain from sharing previously published poems by other authors to keep the focus on original content. This is a place for personal expression and genuine poetic dialogue—let's explore the beauty of words together.

Rules:

  1. Be kind.
  2. Constructive criticism is encouraged.
  3. Post original poetry, although analysis of prewritten works is allowed.
  4. Although it isn't disallowed please tag anything AI.
  5. Follow instance rules.

I like the imagery of a murmur coiled like a frail animal on the edge of something.

Nice one, me likey! A tad dark and hopeless, but most good art masquerades suffering. Anyhow: thanks for sharing!

I'm just starting with writing, and it feels a bit cluttered. So any pointers would be appreciated!!! Thank you

Graf vision here. Good rhythm, the structure is musical. Succinct and quite evocative. I like it.

I would only question if you meant deliberate? And if you would like to go with adrifts or adrift?

Got no pointers to offer. I'm just a connoisseur of art, no judge. But cluttered? Nah, I wouldn't say so.

But I, personally, wouldn't tweak much anyway. The more you fiddle around, the more the original feeling you wanted to convey might thin out or even vanish.
