Greetings, and welcome to Writing.com!
I've been coming across your port for a while now, and every time I do I'm further impressed by your way with words. You have such a deep wisdom and understanding here, it's quite striking to read.
Your lines here are so long and conversational, that at first, reading it on my phone, I didnβt realize it rhymes at all. The rhyme and meter is subtle, helping it to read smoothly like an artistic free-form essay. You list three reasons why finding silence in oneβs daily life is so important, plus a warning about the difference between being alone and being lonelyβ¦ one can find peace in solitude, but one must also have some form of meaningful companionship and community with others to be fully human.
I relate deeply to this theme of aloneness and silence; I just remarked in another review, how the only time I feel ever truly at peace is when Iβm alone, in the moments before falling asleep, when I can step deep within myself and explore my thoughts and imagination without the burdens of day-to-day existenceβ¦ indeed, at the risk of sounding insane, sometimes I feel like the realest reality is inside my head and everything else is a cumbersome dream.
I like adding line count and even word count to my poetry, mostly because itβs required for entering contests around here. Which reminds me, you should enter "First and Second Chance Poetry Contest" , the hostess would love to have you! You can pick any of your items, donβt need to write for a prompt.
You should choose genres for your items; this is important around WdC because it helps people find items when they're browsing, and it also helps give as many opportunities for Quill Award nominations as possible. (Check out the port of Moderator Quilli β for all things Quills!)
I would suggest using "Philosophy," "Drama," "Experience," "Personal," "Family," "Dark," "Psychology," "Death," or "Self Help" or "Spiritual" or "How-to/Advice" or "Relationship" or "Community" or "Inspirational..." (not necessarily for this one in particular but also for others in your port.)
You also need to use a larger font size, for sure. It all looks great on mobile, but on my iPad and desktop your work appears hopelessly cramped and sleepy. Size 4 Verdana works wonders to open up the writing for a truly engaging reading experience. If youβre unsure how to use our proprietary markup language (Writing ML,) check "Writing.Com 101" and the βWdC Toolsβ link on your left sidebar for lots of help with that.
I recommend adding an image to your bio block, and also some small words about yourself in the second "bio" tab. It's always nice to know if we're speaking to a male, female, non-binary, young or old, where theyβre from on the globe, their level of English language writing experience, likes and dislikes. At the very least some stock type pictures will add a little zest to your port.
Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing
