Poetry is the language of intensity. Because we are going to die, an expression of intensity is justified.

"What others found in art,
I found in nature. What others found
in human love, I found in nature.
Very simple. But there was no voice there.
Winter was over...
Come to me, said the world. I was standing
in my wool coat at a kind of bright portal"
Louise Glück
Friedrich, The Garden Terrace. 1798

No argument from me, @annerallen.bsky.social. There’s no shame in treading familiar paths, and being overly focused on “originality” can stifle a great many worthy stories before they’re even written.
Tropes and Archetypes vs. Cliches
Tropes and Archetypes are familiar story elements and character types that have been with us since storytelling began. Use them wisely.

“These roads will take you into your own country.
Seasons and maps coming where this road comes
into a landscape mirrored in these men.
Past all your influences, your home river,
constellations of cities, mottoes of childhood...
What one word must never be said?”

Haiku: When Forest Holds Its Breath
Silent frost-glazed trees
Stillness embraces the dawn
Frozen dew drops dream
A frozen dewdrop clung to a needle's tip, awaiting the sun's gentle embrace.
