Comment on For Beginner Poets: How to Know If Your Poetry Sucks by Sooze

WOW! I’m screwed! I also found this article with the google search: “how do I know if my poetry doesn’t suck?” I actually like the first poem’s first four lines! I worry about structure and rhyming but only after I get the thoughts down.
I’ve written for years – VERY VERY Private stuff to me. NO ONE had ever read any of them. I write to help me when I’m in a bad way, usually – to help myself understand what’s going on in my brain, or figure out HOW it is I really feel. Sometimes the writing has helped me to forgive. That is what happened with a poem I wrote about my nephew. Two years ago he – a minister until just previous to the act – committed suicide & I shared one of my writings with my sister to see if it could help her, too. She embarrassed me by reading it ALOUD & to over 100 people at Steven’s Life’s Celebration, where I got a standing ovation. She had it printed & framed for me – I stuck it in my closet!!!! I NEVER thought to share ANY of them and still probably wont – except the one that is already out there…

Hi I was wondering if you could tell me somewhere I could post my poetry. My only obstacle is that my poetry is in Irish. So if you could help I would deeply appreciate it. : )
