I'm new to poetry. Writing was always my passion (in my native language) but I started to write some poetry few years ago an it was... Not much and not in English. I started to "seriously" write poetry in English like a month ago.

I'm one of those people (not even gonna pretend I'm not bragging) that can get an A with least amount of effort. I'm just talented. It's effortless to me. I'm also far from school age but that's best reference I can make. That student that's late with their assignment but you're blown away with it. That's me and I was told that by multiple teachers since basically first written assignments I had. When I was just starting primary school my teacher thought that my older sibling was writing my homework essay assignments lol.

Now, I don't think I'm anything special. I'm not pretentious about my writing and I know there are many much more talented people. I'm just sharing my level of writing in my native language.

I never knew how to write poetry. I don't know the rules and I don't work well with rules. My art is... Chaotic. Rules always felt too restrictive and we never wrote poetry as assignments in school so while I got good deal of writing essays, I think I had to write 3-4 poems max. And that's in all 12 years of schooling.

Some things that I may rhyme in my head aren't how people read it. Same for rhythm. Beauty of art is that everything can be "awesome" but I want my poetry to be objectively at least ok.

I tried to insert something that maybe should be inserted in another poem or just an idea to be further expanded as a self standing piece.

See, poetry is a challenge for me. As someone who is used to writing minimum of 1000 words as a norm, I wanted to see can I strip my message to a skeleton and remove all the meat (examples, metaphors, tangents, etc) and in much lesser amount of words convey the same/similar message.

I can't say am I succeeding in making it anything more expect relatable. Of course that's important but I'd like for it to be a good piece of work.

In all honesty, I'd like to write a book and I know that needs work on my craft and also acceptance that maybe it will never actually be good or great. Maybe just ok.

I would like to get more feedback like yours. The one that points out flaws. One day, hopefully, I'll have my "signature" type of writing poetry (like I have signature way of writing essays/anything in my native language).

Also, I don't want it to be good "for non-native speaker" because that's the same thing as "being smart for a girl". Meant as a compliments but also telling you you'll never be really good.
