I think it's very sweet. I took a couple poetry classes when I was in school (I'll probably take a couple more when I go back!) and one thing that has kind of stuck with me was that the way to become a better poet is to read a lot of poetry. If you're having trouble with writers block, try checking out some books from the library. Pablo Neruda has some amazing love poems, but I also really like the romantics as well.

When I write poetry, it can take me months. I do a first draft, then I go back when it's cold and change it up a little, figure out what sounds better. Poetry can't be rushed
