I'm impressed with the poetry of both Ravoc and Only-now. Very good stuff.

I am immersed in a world of artsy-fartsy stuff and, I assure you, your poetry is considerably better than the vast majority of crap being published today.

The best advice to a poet I've ever heard: keep observing, keep thinking, keep working.

You're good. Don't stop and don't let anyone dissuade you from your desire to write. I did and beat my head against the walls of a career in Accounting because "that's a real job". Too late for me, but not for you.
