Just That Archaic Poet
Posts: 89

I have received many humbling and glowing reviews concerning my poetry, and I am grateful for each and every one. Having said that, I would also like to convey that it's also just as important for me, as a poet, to know what's wrong with a piece just as much as what's right with it. I think it's the only way I will ever grow as an artist. If you read one of my pieces and just don't like it, or simply don't understand it, I would love to know why (in the most polite and constructive way possible lol). I want to write poetry that is relatable and understandable, and also be the best at what I do, so I am imploring my (if any lol) readers to let me know what doesn't work for them just as much as what does. Hope this makes sense. Thanks to all who read and consider
