some of my best poems @AkitoClaw

Once I was a figure born in the night. 

I emerged from shadows, seeking the light. 

Where no one dares to go, I stride 

to the beyond, with nothing to hide. 

Despite everything, I rise and stand tall. 

I become the dream I had when I was small.

here is the second one

The pain I felt was a loss of light. 

Then I was pushed into the dark, away from all sight. 

A secret, untold, is buried deep in my chest. 

Yet hope flickers quietly, longing for rest. 

Once more, I reach out for the warmth I have known. 

But cycles of shadow become my own. 

I will never return to the light I once claimed. 

The darkness is my refuge, and my soul is now unchained. 

I am freed from the shackles that held me so tight. 

I drift into the night, far from memory's light.

and last but not least, i actually spend the most time on this one

The quietest was me.  
I was a shadow in the busy tree.  
I sat alone, trapped in my own world.  
Every other soul felt like a burden.  
I built a wall, high and steep.  
I kept my secrets in that silence.  

Then came a light, a gentle grace.  
A friendly smile appeared on their face.  
Kindness glowed, tempting and bright.  
A pure surface felt like a waking dream.  
Deep down, I had a doubt, a quiet whisper.  
But I was blinded by the lovely glow.  

I held on tightly to that sweet hope,  
Ignoring flaws and bitter defeats.  
Until the day the truth revealed itself.  
A different face showed me a broken world.  
I cut the thread with a heavy hand  
And left that shore for unknown land.  

This time I breathed and looked around.  
Laughter echoed on fertile ground.  
I dipped my toes into new waters  
And let my real self shine through.  
No longer trapped by fear’s harsh grip,  
I laugh, I live, I feel again.  
In the crowd, I find my peace.  
I am a happy soul, no longer restrained.

sweet

How to write a poem?

so for me, I always write down what I think that my poem should be and then work my way out from there, making edits and re editing it again to ensure that everything is good and then well it turns out from all of that

take a shower and you'll be fine....wait no that's rap xD but I guess poem and rap works similarily? Not sure tho, but the point is to have a relaxing moment where you can let our the emotions, and then use words to express it. Only works for some songs, most rap, and english poems and all modern poems though, Classic Chinese Poetry requires the exact opposite, a calm, focuses mind unhindered by emotion lol.

Oh...Anyone here who writes in Francis Jammes' style?

Chat GPT?

no, I don't write my poems using ai

Why not? AI can be a good style corrector or sharp-tongued critic without censorship
