You appear to have a lot of time on your hands.
I'm certain that you're a very nice and earnest person.
I'm sure you're a very good translator and teacher.
Your poetry is appallingly bad.
You need to read a lot of really good poetry before you can even start
thinking about writing decent poetry.
Start reading. Don't waste your time self-publi****ng and playing
around on the internet. Read as much good, contem****ary published
poetry as you can find. Learn why a good poem is good; learn why a
great poem is great. Develop your critical eyes and ears.
Good luck.
