So I started writing poetry for the first time, and I don’t know if I’m getting my point/idea across without it seeming too complex?
I think, just as with writing prose fiction, your best bet is to find other poets or poetry fans who can give you feedback. There’s not really any other way to know, unfortunately, because there aren’t really any mile posts or guidelines that can tell you whether or not your point is coming through. You really need another human (and preferably a few) to read it and let you know what they think.

Have a writing question? I’d love to hear from you! Prohibited asks: how to portray/describe (characters, emotions, situations), specialist knowledge requests (medical, military, mental health, etc.), asking for tropes/cliches or resources, triggering/controversial topics; broad, vague, or complex questions. Asks directed to other anons/askers. I get dozens of questions per day…please don’t ask if I got your question. See master list & main site for more info!
