Zilah ...
Again, I am compelled to read these pieces with wonder (particularly "Empty rooms line the cells of your heart ...") ... I call myself a poet (maybe others do not), but from one poet to another, protect your pieces as children not ready to take first steps ... Nurture them by researching then composing and researching again to determine if what you are saying has been said before and how ... Find your own voice, and find your place among a select group who've achieved the same ... It's extremely rare.
(Thanks to Tozzie (That's
Tozzy pls) for his advice above, as well)
