Need Your Suggestions and Recommedations

I write poems quickly with not much patience And need suggestions with recommendations Regarding poems which were written by me Designed for the average and not aristocracy. The following comments are what I received Was she by my poems really being deceived And also many of my points may have missed You could add to a awfully, really very long list. Some fine themes and ideas are in your poetry. Yet, I get tripped-up by some of your forced wording (that really detract me from your intent) And your basic grammar often can be confusing. I do wish you would proof-read your work for spelling, grammar, and understanding before throwing it out there! Any and all serious writers ALWAYS revise their work. You have such a sensitive heart and also so much to say! However, my opinion is that you need to focus more on "polishing" your poems up when you want others to value the concepts that you want to and are trying to convey. Above are comments I received my Poetry Group Coordinator. In her earlier life, she was a thoughtful teacher and an educator. The same also applies to most of the other members as well, And I am different from them all of them, you can always tell. There are almost 20 at times in the poetry group. Of them all, two or three others and I are the only males. To me, writing poems like therapy in the form of a release. Each poem which I write just comes naturally flowing out. Often thoughts and ideas are from what I heard on the news. It may only be two words which I woke up with in my head. If you see anything confusing in my poems that you don't understand please be sure to let me know what they are.

But often first impressions are lasting ones. If I put off writing all of my poems, no one would ever get to read any. Part of this is to motivate others to write poems. By reading some of mine it might motivate them to write another poem themselves. Jim Horn PS. How did you happen to end up reading my poem anyway?
