Bow'ls. You can write about anything and make it at least halfway interesting. Cuddlytiger's problem is that she's too young to have read very much poetry, so she can't have any clue how many thousands of times these feelings have been expressed in exactly the same way, and why that would be so irritating to anyone reading a poem like this. When she responds to this, it'll probably be to the effect that she doesn't care how many times other people have written the same thing etc etc etc. That kind of talk is bow'ls to the max. Listen carefully, cuddlytiger:

THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF POETRY. THE POINT OF POETRY IS TO INTEREST OTHER PEOPLE.

I say, go ahead writing about your broken heart or whatever, but start thinking about how to do it originally and interestingly. You might start by clicking Random and reading (without commenting) until your retinas detach.
