I’m very new to writing poetry and I really want some critique on how I could make this poem flow more nicely or just any criticism at all would be very helpful <@&1144090752457113794>

Your poem vividly depicts the frustration of feeling unable to express oneself poetically, with a good use of imagery of words trapped behind a metaphorical cage. To enhance it, consider varying the rhythm by experimenting with punctuation and line breaks. Other than that it’s a very good poem

#

I wish my words flowed out
As poetically as yours,
With lines cascading down each page,
Yet they feel stuck behind a cage,
A barricade of my teeth,
My hand hovers over every blank sheet.

You read any Homer? He talks about the barriers of the teeth a lot
