THAT FEELING WHEN YOU WRITE SOMETHING INCREDIBLE AND CAN’T SHARE IT BECAUSE YOU WANNA TRY TO GET IT PUBLISHED 😭

Is it weird that I don't like the word "poem"?

Got a rejection for a series of poems about chronic pain. They said it was too much pain. Perhaps a narrator could monologue about something else.

That's literally the gaslighting that people who live with pain face IRL, which is in one of the poems. Huge face-palm moment.

Having a good placing poems about college days. One I haven't placed yet but is my current favorite is called "Damnation Does Not Impress Us." Can't share yet (some litmags won't publish poems posted to social media), but am dying to! #poetproblems 💙📚 #booksky 📖 #writing 📝 #skypoets #PoetSky

You know what’s a fun feeling?
Changing my mind about every single poem in the book I’ve been working on since the end of 2022.
Guess I’m just gonna… ditch the entire manuscript and start from scratch…?

Sometimes, as a poet, I struggle to put a feeling or experience into words cause there is a song lyric that already captures it for me perfectly. How can I spin those lines in my voice when someone already said it for me?

I know some writers say they hate facing a blank page but I think there's nothing better than starting a new notebook.
All that potential 😍

Seven Leagues Under by MJ Walker 7/19/2012, revised 04/14/2025 Tides keep time with the moon, I surrender Myself Anti-gravity under the surface, enchanted Sirens call; the depths below me - in blackness I see, weightless I fall. (Continued ...) Seven Leagues Under by MJ Walker 7/19/2012, revised 04/14/2025 (Continued) ... Deep Gravity returns as pressure the ocean holds me under. What am I looking for I wonder ... So the tides keep time with the moon, currents alternating, directing pressure, anti-gravity against my bare body - suspended in the absence of oxygen I swim

Writing poetry is 10% inspiration, 90% staring at a wall trying to find a rhyme for "orange" or "silver" before giving up and changing the entire stanza.
Who else in the #WritingCommunity is fighting the thesaurus today?

#PoetProblems #WritingLife #VerseInProgress #CreativeStruggle #booksky
A whimsical, surrealist digital painting of an open vintage thesaurus sitting on a wooden table. Hundreds of golden, glowing letters are physically spilling out of the pages like a waterfall, cluttering the desk, while a rainy North Yorkshire moor is visible through a soft-focus window in the background. The lighting is ethereal and cool-toned, emphasizing the chaotic beauty of a writer's struggle.

People think poets spend all day gazing wistfully at horizons. In reality, I spend 40% of my time gazing, and 60% of my time trying to find a rhyme for "Orange" that isn't "Door-hinge." (It didn't make it into the book).

A cinematic, close-up shot of a rustic wooden writing desk overlooking a misty Wharfe Valley. An ink pen rests on a manuscript where the word 'ORANGE' is aggressively circled in red. A soft, warm lamp glows in the foreground, contrasting with the cold, ethereal blue mist rolling over the distant heather-covered hills outside the window.

First new poem from me in quite some time (begun almost a fortnight ago), and already I'm questioning my unintended slant rhyme of 'Kop' with 'not'. #poetproblems
