Such bloody awful poetry

That's NOT poetry. I don't know who told you any of this was poetry but it ain't poetry.
This is my style ....


I’m quite happy with it ...

I don’t read poetry
And don’t like poetry

As I mentioned this morning

You need a break
From it all ....

In all honestly what do you
Think of mine 😬😬😬😬

it was the memory of these lines that made me think of that:

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
 
Come on ....
I want to help you here
Your going through a bad patch

I told you this morning

Take a break
Personally I 4king don’t like
Poetry.....
As I’ve said I’ve got my own style
I don’t read any poetry whatsoever...


Sylvia plath
Was married to Ted Hughes

This I know

Then she shoved her head
Into a gas cooker

This I know

I mentioned this morning about your writhing style....

I think you’ve got yourself a bit stuck .....


Take Time out

Your style of writing may not suit you .....
Have you thought of that ??

oh ted hughes! that reminds me! this is another favourite!!

you're right, my writing style does NOT suit me. it is too flippant, too sarcastic, too shrug-of-the-shoulders. i want to take myself seriously not just as a writer but IN my writing, the way rachel cusk takes herself seriously, and i dont know how to do that.

You need you own style....

STOP now

Think about you
And your own way of
Thinking about things.....

You need a Rifkie style
Nobody else’s

Even
Look at mine

It’s mostly shite..... but it’s mine

Take a break and a think

It could be weeks

Or months

DONT EVER GIVE UP

the reason you're not stressed is because you know your poetry cant be any better than it is. so to be told not to be stressed by you is not advice i need.
