I did see some fantastic poetic entries to the last round in the post, you do have some great poets!
It is more I need to take on board feedback and change my poetry style, sometimes I can't resist writing them even though I know I shouldn't. There is a story in there as well for my actual entry, I need to stop trying with the poetry until I can face how much I need to change, I am finding it so hard to move away from my style :)
Hmm. I am wondering why you are trying to resist writing poems, and why you have to move away from your style, @calluna. If you mean you have received great editorial feedback, and you want to use it to improve the quality of your work, that's great. But I hope you aren't trying to be something you aren't!
I have had some great editorial feedback, but it does require a decent change in style not to rhyme or use the alliterative imagery, then again, I do like a challenge, I have a really old poem that I wrote that is like that, so I just need to find that vibe again. I am aimed for more objectively good, and in some ways it is trying to be something I am not, but only by pushing my edges will I ever know where they are :)
Also thank you, I was really down last week and just bleh, so yeah, thank you
