I wrote something about someone and I don’t know if it is a poem. It doesn’t rhyme and the words don’t really fit. I struggle with writing English , but also with German.
Could someone please help me to find other words or just give Feedback?

I would consider this a poem

#

I think it is quite good in fact.
And the last line makes us want to start the poem again

#

I am impressed if your English isn't that good that you produced a poem like this.

#

Are there words you think are troublesome here?

# rich yarrow Are there words you think are troublesome here?

Honestly, this is the first “poem” I’ve ever written. During the writing I didn’t thought about the words and how they match with the other ones, but now that I’m reading it afterwards there are some things I’m not 100% happy with.
the accept feels so wrong simply not fitting
And the description of her words, are the better words to describe that?

I wish I could more critical, but it is always difficult for me to say anything against poetry, because it is an expressive form. Sure, you could have used a different word.

#

maybe... an effort to embrace it

#

I can also give tips perhaps about pauses and spacing, but I think a reader will naturally know where they should be

I hate inserting my own words into other people's poems

#

yet, I can't look away and try and face it

#

I am a bad critic

okay

#

comma at eyes, your (line 2)
unfiltered, so familiar (line 5)
so respectful, so warm (line 6)
Maybe,
make "in a way only you can" (and a pause before it like .... or comma or -)
a line of its own (line 12)

Perfect. By the way. The more I read it. The more I like it.

Including that phrase of try to accept it
