Do these count as poems? What do you think?

Question

I've never really writen poetry but I write uh 'stuff' whenever I need to to make me feel better. I don't even know if this counts for poetry or if it even sounds good at all. I write for myself anyway, noone's ever read my 'c**p'. Let me know what you think or what I could do. PLEASE productive semi-nice answers thank you.

Eyes of curiosity gazing, standing back in complete admiration.

Understanding pieces scatter and glue themselves back together .

Don’t need to touch just feel;

Don’t need to talk just tell.

Worries subside, affliction apart

Lies no more the Soul’s start.

__________

Expression is something that has to be forced out of the soul.

A constant feeling of words, ideas, and teachings scrambling through the head all at once.

One is saying pick me but which one? Can’t decide on which ones to accept and which to dismiss.

A word, so many words, mean what you say buy what you mean.

Shut up.

_________

Burry my head, watch if cascade down.

Hate, confusion, hate

Thinking makes vomit, sickness decay

Connection, plug into anything apart of the whole.

Divulge all, discontinue the system

Slicing contains empty heat

Wall what wall? It’s better than nothing at all.

Lift my head to see falling trees

There’s nothing there but deterioration.

Answer 1

writing is a great thing to do keep it up :)

Answer 2

I really liked it! In my point of view i would consider those poems.

And those poems aren't 'c**p.'

They were very nice

Answer 3

Yep. It counts as poetry. Anything with words that have some emotional impact and are written so they don't take up the whole width of the page is "poetry" since it's such a tricky thing to define.

As far as I can tell, your poem seems to be more of a stream of consciousness, which, while it is good for your psychological well-being, isn't so great for other people to read. What I'd suggest you do is pick through it all and find the stuff that will mean more to other people.

Like: "Expression is something that has to be forced out of the soul.

A constant feeling of words, ideas, and teachings scrambling through the head all at once.

This is a little gem, because it applies to more than yourself, is clear so other people can understand what you're getting at (remember those vague poems you had to dissect in English class. NOBODY liked those. Take that as a lesson), yet it's still "poetic", meaning using words that sound pleasing to the ear.

Happy Writing! :D
