I am Death-Destroyer of worlds

[SnarlingThroughOurSmiles]

Hi - I'm confused by your reply. It seems to me that your response is 'I wanted to write a bit of nonsense, it's okay if nothing makes sense in the poem'. Which is fine, but in that case please state it as such, and don't invite people to waste their time critiquing it.

So I feel like there may be a misunderstanding here. I know you said that there's nothing suggesting delusions of grandeur or an unreliable narrator, but I think what isn't being understood is that I am the narrator. Like. Me personally. The writer is the speaker in this case. I made up a creation myth in which I the writer am the creator. I can write that I made the clouds with my breath and killed multiple sun gods because I am the ultimate creator of everything here. It was explained to me by a friend who is an English major that in poetry, people are taught to not conflate writer with speaker, and to assume that the writer has created a character through whom they speak, even if the poem is written in first person. I wasn't aware of that. So when I write in first person, I'm writing literally in first person. Does that clear anything up?
