Anyone else see cliches in their poetry? It might be original to the field at large, but something that you personally overuse,
My worst ones:
-writing about writing
-writing about drugs
-starting every poem by telling the reader its "4 AM again"
y'all got any of your own that you cant seem to break?
I think in both my prose and my poetry I tend to be overly compact; hardly taking the time to build an image.
I always compare manmade objects and nature. Or girls to fire/light its bad.
Are there any good ways to get out of writing habits?

Once you're aware of them, just try different things.

Clichés aren't bad, though, and trying to avoid them is a cliché in itself.
I always write about mirrors, or things being mirrors even when they arent reflective in nature.
Also, things show up in 3's alot.
I always write opposing ideas; in which I'm feeling joy by being overwhelmed. Besides the fact that I usually write about myself. I should die.
