hello, my name is thehokagepoet and i am a neurodivergent woman who has been writing poetry since september 2017, which has been many years and since then, i enjoy doing so. feel free to check them out, even if they are really bad and not well written, i donโt mind. i simply love posting my talent and love for poetry as a whole ๐ฉท
things you will expect from my account too in a nutshell, and rules as such:
1. i will show a bunch of my journals for which one i have written my poems in and upcoming ones too
2. if i am absent for some random reason, just randomly out of nowhere, itโs not that iโm alienating/ghosting anyone. i just have things going on or i donโt feel like posting for some reason.
3. no ai please! i am not a fan of it and i know for a fact, i will never allow anyone to use my poems into it as such because it makes me sad and hurt that my work since i was 17, is used dangerously for the world.
4. my poems are always going to be posted no matter how good or bad they are. if they suck, i can live with that. if they are really good, i am happy and grateful for that.
5. do not make me read my poems out loud. like rule number 3, i donโt like ai at all and if i read my poems aloud, my voice will be used for ai and i will have to leave it accepted and that i donโt want to fight whoever uses it in an inappropriate manner.
6. i am not asking to be respectful to me as a neurodivergent woman, because granted, i could be ableist in the way some poems are presented as such and i get it if you donโt like me or my energy.
7. my poems can be repetitive in the way they are written, so if you just donโt like them, that is fine with me. i will understand entirely and accept criticism and constructive comments too on them. because i am a poet and we learn a lot. unless, youโre me, that is.
8. i post my poetry because i love sharing my talent. i donโt mind if it doesnโt gain traction or views, none of that. i say this because i feel good when i am writing and having what i said out of this world. so if you ever not want to see what i have written and donโt care about it, thatโs okay. i write what i want and i feel better as such.
thank you for reading all of this. i hope someday, these poems could be part of a book and if not, i will be happy posting them and smiling at myself with joy ๐ธ
