I have to say, you have been having a run on good threads! Without you, I would be on the threads where people would ask me "Who the "f" are you?"
I'm pretty good, but I wouldn't consider myself a pro.

Toute ce qui n'est point prose est vers, et tout ce qui n'est point vers est prose.

(All that is not prose is verse, and all that is not verse is prose.)
Poetry should be prettier.
Mine isn't.
The biggest disconnect with poetry is that it can sound really pretty but not say a damn thing, at least when I try.
Sounds like you're over thinking it...
Well of course.

My better poetry is mere parody. My latest, posted in the Poetry forum:
Apologies to Pope
To wake the love by tender strokes of hand,
To raise the prick, to make it proud stand,
To make man, kind in conscious love bold,
Relive over each scene, show what they behold:
For this the Erotic Muse first marked the page.
Parody of Prologue to Addison's Cato.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This don't rhyme for shit.
there once was a girl named ann thrope
who loved to pick up the soap
when she bent over
she showed us her clover
It was all we could do not to grope
Owwwww! Yikes! That hurts just to look at.
