is really good! and as for understanding, just keep reading. The poets in the forum are awesome and there are some excellent teachers there as well. Keep writing, never give up. The more you write the better you write, so keep up the good work :)

You add to tge Diversity & Versatility of this place , please do not dare to be humble about your poetic output . I feel proud of you as a friend , a fellow Poet & a good Human Being ! 5-ed .
clear writing can often be better than double meanings and stretched metaphors, stoic, resolute, strong are words I would use to describe your writing, you are better than you may think. the more reading you do and identifying what works and why in your own head the clearer it gets.
I need to become more patient - read each one more before submitting. As I re-read I keep seeing things I might say differently. And I need to open my mind more. I have been having great fun on the site reading and writing and learning. Thanks agian.
Exactly what a poet should do. And a lovely poet you are. Rustic: simple and honest, something I enjoy in your poetry. There is a depth achieved in that.
