Poetry teaches us music metaphor condensation and specificity.
My advice would be to write what is most personal and specific to your experience or your life. And your voice will emerge and because of its specificity it will be universal.
When you have kids you just love them. It's similar to when you're in love with someone. You just think they are so cool and want to be around them all the time but what if she starts being embarrassed and only giving me charity visits? I want her to actually want to see me so that's what I'm going for!
