arrow be lit <| sep |> uh . just release the lock and line up the slit with the cross on the ram slot ? <| sep |> Did he play soccer in high school ? Is it possible I played soccer against him in high school ? Is this my claim to fame ! ?!?!?!?<| sep |> they breed talent sometimes inherent , sometimes hard work . where is my ambition , where is this muse you flatter me useless . this is all I ' m going to edit . This isn ' t poetry , only prose . You need to compress these ideas take out what doesn ' t need to be there , which is a vast majority . Poetry is a game of subtlety , you can look at it as a puzzle every word a piece , as you place these pieces together an image starts to appear . This image can be blurry experimental poetry or crystal clear love poems in valentine cards as well as everything between but it has to have an objective . Sadly , I believe what you ' ve written is only the conception of an objective . Do not be offended , in the past I ' ve written in a similar vain I tend to write in stream of consciousness , whatever comes to mind in the end , I have this huge block of text , and because I ' ve written it , I love it ! I believe every word to be a work of ' genius ' because a poets gotta lovethemselvesyaknow , but it isn ' t , and I ' ve learn ' t that , I ' ve grown from that and believe to be a better writer . Read what you ' ve written , what are you trying to tell me ? that you ' re no longer blessed with virtuosity ? Talent often comes with discipline , self motivation mostly because an artist believes they ' re not good enough and needs to get better , curiosity and self expression . Anyhow , I ' m going off on useless tangent . If you want to write poetry which I believe you should start reading more poetry and understanding the art form , it will pay off and improve your writing .
