What genre do you avoid?
David_Macleod said:Is there any genre or DU category that you won't or can't write about
I usually avoid the EROTIC category
and have only written a few pieces that i thought belonged there and then a few more that others thought the ink belonged there.
In other poetry sites i've done collabs in that area but mostly from my experiences when i was a sub and so in the BDSM area.
I read more than i used to in this genre but my preference is love and spiritual

I kind of avoid every genre, I think . Or rather, I don’t go into a poem with a genre in mind. But I definitely avoid erotic or romantic topics.
Humor.
I think humor is a language of its own from being regional to personal. Not everyone will understand it, and most likely appreciate it.
It's probably one of the hardest categories to pull off successfully having to thread carefully between the lines of not being offensive but also executing the timing, wit and delivery perfectly.

self-harm stuff, drug dependency (for the most part though i've one lonnnng poem about it), straight-up sex, slushy slushy romance, mostly religious-based material... there are exceptions to them all, but i prefer to go erotic v porn, realistic-romance v hallmark, spiritual rather than religious.
it spans a broad river
nature's my biggest muse, and the love i have for my husband... we met on a writing site and have written books' worth of material between eachother
i write in form, and in blank verse, rhymed/non-rhyming, fuzzy kitties to the experiences of an 18 year long abusive relationship; children, food, weather, emotional contentedness to devastation - limerick to prose-poetry, mini writes to epics. whatever poem needs to be written, i'll try to do it justice in exploring it.
what i prefer to do is layering, and even if the narrator is writing as 'i' in a poem i like to leave enough room for the reader to allow themselves to become that 'i', and genre is whatever i'm writing at the time.
my job is to write the inherent truth of a poem - the poem doesn't have to be an actual event or actual hope/dream/experience... but once it is done, the poem is 'real' as an experience in itself. or... that's the plan ;)
