    Do you think it's possible to give some examples?😅
    That gives me an expression on where to focus to😬

    I think it's a language thing, more than poetry
    don't worry, if you enjoy writing
    and find it fun, just keep doing it

    To be clear this is my replay on your reply😆 (gonna be long but on the positive side I guess)
    
    Because of the fact that English is not my main language it's sometimes difficult to make the right sentences and especially in poetry. Poetry is all about using specific words to describe emotions, feelings, situations and my English is not that bad but not good enough to get into the advanced English. The biggest reason for that is because I don't speak English much or read English really often and if I watch movies I use the subtitles because everyone is lazy sometimes😄
    
    The biggest reason why I write in English is because in my opinion it sounds so much more beautiful than Dutch (my main language). Sometimes I write a Dutch poem, not so really difficult tbh but idk English sounds more beautifully and a lot more people understand it.
    
    But I think I am still going to write poems because it makes me more better at English and I really like to read poetry and sometimes try it myself.
    
    I hope it's not too long to read😅 but I still always appreciate when people comment because it gives me more perceptions and insights.

    I understand, maybe try writing one verse in Dutch
    then translate it into English in the next verse
    this may let you improve both at the same time
    the poetry of your Dutch
    and the eloquence of your English..
    just an idea, all the best dear poet
    (and remember to have fun)
