So, we've done the quiz for our authors writing novels. But, of course, we have to spread some love to our dear poets, don't we? Here we have a quiz for our poets to decide whether their poems are cliché or not.

Please be aware: when it comes to writing poetry, I am not the most well-versed. But I have asked a lot of Wattpad poets that I do know, and I've also done a ton of research in creating this quiz. Also remember - this is mostly for fun! Do not take this too seriously.

"Bottom of my soul..." or "Thorn to my side..."

"Like the plague..." or "A heart full of sorrow..."

None of the above.

My poem title is more than a one-word noun, but it's not subtle. If my poem is called, 'Love is like the colour blue', then the poem is about how love is like the colour blue.

My title is a one-word noun, and the poem is about that one-word noun. If my poem is called 'Love', the poem is about love.

c My poem title is quite abstract, and is probably a word used once during the poem only, but carries a lot of weight and symbolism.

I have a rhyming scheme, but it changes with each poem, and is not necessarily ABAB always.

ABAB, hell yeah, for every single poem! All the way throughout - non-stop.

Rhyming scheme? Pft. What is that?

The weather and/or time!

Love! Broken hearts, hearts that are full of love...

Ideas that are driven by my political thoughts/opinions on the things that are happening around me, or about my own personal issues and struggles - mental illness, discrimination, marginalisation, or even just the struggles of my life in general.

Not. Flowery. At. All. We. Are. Here. For. Military. Precision.

So flowery, why, it dinnae maketh any senseth to the weariest nor the wealthiest traveller! (Basically, it's very flowery, but also to the point where it's basically purple prose).

It depends on the mood I'm trying to achieve - that influences the style. Usually, it's a mix of different styles.

I just punctuate for it to make sense.

Does the punctuation even really matter? I don't even use it. You don't need commas in poetry.

I punctuate so that the emphasis is on the most meaningful word, and will manipulate the punctuation to suit the mood (for example, I will use run-on sentences if I'm trying to depict hysteria).

Roughly around 5.

Easily over 10.

One or two - jeez, make space for the other literary devices!

I basically spell out the meaning of my poem for my readers. My themes are as subtle has hand grenades.

No one is supposed to understand my poetry. It's abstract, I tell you! Abstract!

Well, there's an obvious meaning, but there's also a more subtle message that requires the readers to think just that little bit before they can understand it.

They're a little towards the sophisticated side, but I promise that I knew what the words meant beforehand! The reader may need a dictionary, though.

So... I had a word in mind, thought it sounded too simple, so I used synonyms.com and a thesaurus to find myself a word that means the same thing but is twice as long.

My words are all from the top of my head, and are perfectly understandable for the intended audience.

"I was scared out of my wits."

"I was frightened to death."

"I felt my blood turn to ice."

I described the visual stuff you could see if you were there, as well as what you could smell and hear if you were there. Or I described the visuals only, but also how the protagonist felt as they went through i

I described all the visual stuff. All the stuff you could see.

I described what you could see, smell and hear, as well as what the protagonist felt as they moved through it.

I guess... I'll just go with a cliché thing?

Well... I read this other poem and it described love really, really well, so I might use something similar to them...

I sit down and agonise over it. Then, when the words come to me, I'll write them down.

There is no strict location. It's abstract.

In the rain.

A place that I have been to.

Only to the slightest extent because it genuinely makes sense to my characters.

Yes! Stereotypes come from truths, after all! If it's a girl, she's going to like flowers. If it's a boy, he's going to like cars!

I go against all stereotypes. Yes, I have a cute girl with pig-tails who can go around breaking hearts. Sue me!

I want people to know how I feel without having to say it.

Not sure. I just wrote them, hoping to get some popularity on Wattpad.

I want to show people what I think about the world around me, and I want to show them an experience that they may never truly understand.

If you've been keeping track of your answers, this is the scale you use to calculate your final score:

Look, so your poetry is a little cliché. It's not exactly something we haven't seen before. However, that being said, as long as the poetry came from your heart, does it really matter? No. Just make sure you really work hard for what you're trying to achieve - contrary to popular belief, poetry is an art that does take practice to master!

You've got a nice balance between the cliché and the non-cliché - and that's great! You're adding a spin to your own poetry, you're trying new idioms and phrases, and you're keeping your poetry purposeful. Well done! Maybe there's a thing or two you could do to make your poetry branch away from the norm - learn to manipulate punctuation marks within poetry, learn how to find a style that suits you and your theme - but otherwise, you're doing a great job!

Look at you go, you little champion! Your poetry is completely different to what is already out there - your similes and metaphors are original, your topics are true to you and your experiences, and you have kept your poems thought-provoking and subtle. Congratulations to you! That's no easy thing to do.

Now, of course, remember that this quiz, ultimately, is for fun. Maybe you scored higher than you thought you would? Maybe lower? We're not perfect, and neither is this quiz. But hey, we hope to have made you smile!

Next week: same routine, but with short story instead. Be prepared for us to hate on those "And then I woke up" finishing lines! Do you have anything you want us to discuss, poetry related or not? Let us know!
