I know what you mean. Writing is my passion and I do it everyday of my life, but poetry is different than writing fiction, most poetry is like you said said "gobbledegook," but the poems that I do enjoy touch me in a deep way. I have a hard time writing poetry as well, I have found the best time for me to write poetry is when I experience something that has great emotional impact in my life, then the words of poetry will flow. To me poetry that doesn't have emotion is dead. Thank you for the reply.
