This inspires me to post the absolute worst/best advice for writing a poem

"Step 1: Read The Wasteland. Then punch yourself in the face every time you read an obscure reference. Being clever isn't being profound. And none of your readers want to watch you masturbate in public...well, some of them do but not all of them!"

Absolutely beautiful. Poetry's beauty comes from how there's no right way for it be be written. My favorite poetry is the type that's felt 🩵

“watch as the words begin to breathe.”

— Swoosh!

(that’s my word for excellence, BTW,)

Sonja, so many perfect visuals, a weaving of tasks, like a leaf colliding gently with this world and maybe another —falling through until it joins the others—I love how your guidance flittered about, I loved its patience, and I’m in love with the ending line!

So beautifully done, thank you!
