Are my poems any good or should I just quit?

Question

I am a struggling poet and I am thinking of quiting can you go to my site www.poemhunter.com/vincent-armone and please tell me if I stink and should give up wrinting thank you and peace

Answer 1

Without having read a poem yet, I say to you don't quit. All that matters is you thinking your poems are good. If you feel that they need work, then work on them. They won't get better if you do not try.

Now having read
A battered women strikes back
A dime &
A gift from me to you


I have to say you have a good thing going. I love your variety when it comes to topics. I do see where you can improve. I suggest looking into various formats, meters & rhyme schemes. I suggest more details, like in the poem "A gift from me to you" don't tell us (your readers) that you hugged someone...make us feel it. Ya dig? Instead of saying hug, take us through the motion.....how you opened your arms, and took this person into....was the hug tight? is so how tight? you see where I am going? You have a great thing going on....don't give up....press on!!

Write on!!

Answer 2

Two things. First of all, just because you're a struggling poet doesn't mean you won't get better. I was dabbling in poetry a few years ago, and leaning more toward fiction writing, and so I put this poem I wrote up and my friend commented something to the effect of "I might need fiction lessons but you need poetry lessons" since it was an awful poem.
Anyway, now that same friend loves my poems and I write them a lot more and my creative short stories, I find, are also more deep now that I write more poetry.
So I would NEVER give up if I were you!

Answer 3

never quit writing a poem is from the heart soul mind body you may not think that they are any good but they are something that is apart of you a diary a thought something that means something ! keep on it sometimes write one and then go back a few days later and look at it with a different look best of luck from on poet to another
