Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.” — William Wordsworth

My writing strength would have to be poetry. Stand clear of a hanging tree, if you criticize meaninglessly.

It would be better being chased by a pack of puggles than to overanalyze my writing struggles

I guess you can say occasionally I shine with the rhyme and lack lucidity sometimes when it comes to creativity.

This poem is far from lengthy, not needed to be strengthy,

This poem is too short, so I must think of a filler preferred than abort.

Close, but far from the end. I write, what else would there be to do…
