Silver Lining

So in the end is there a big difference between what I read and what you meant?

Not really tbh. Is this the question i should be asking myself if im confused if my lines are too weak to express what i mean or it allows room for interpretation? because i sometimes face this problem sometimes and might ruin the subtley of something or make it too unclear

We all struggle with that, I certainly do. That's the great benefit of workshopping, getting lal the different views. And it's the fascinating thing about poetry. Where is that line? The sweet spot is when the poem gives just enough to evoke the intended (or not) response in the reader. It's not unusual for a reader to get something from a poem that the writer didn't even see there, every reader brings their own experiences with them. Personally, I'm just happy when it's something they are glad they read.

Yeah thats fair. Balancing everything in language is what poetry is about. I think as long as i can make someone feel something while reading my poem thats nice. Thanks for all the help
