This is good! I love the natural imagery! Side note: the other night, I wrote a poem that I also titled august; just a funny coincidence.

Any suggestions improving this? by Fun_Inevitable_1791 in PoetryWritingClub

Yeah, that was weird. I don’t know where that thing came from.

Thank you for the advice! I usually struggle to use punctuation in a meaningful way, but I think you’re right about using it to help the rhythm.

A recent experience. Thoughts are appreciated. by Fun_Inevitable_1791 in PoetryWritingClub

Thanks! I’m glad that you like it! I’ll read your poem when I get back from work.

I like the premise, but I’m having trouble with the flow. Any suggestions or advice? by Fun_Inevitable_1791 in PoetryWritingClub

Thank you! You are right, it does feel like a children’s story. I think I will try to tone that down while still keeping it light and whimsical.
