my writing is called philosophical writing. i only uses middle ages words,words from the renaissance for instance words liked gracious,extravaganza,etc... this poem is about a sense of power is a sense of skill. i don’t add capitalization’s on my writing.

“the power is the superhuman ability”
-------------------------------
While this may have meaning to you, who have intent and context, what in the hell can this mean, as-it’s-read, to someone who just arrived? “The power?” You may know what ability you mean, but in all the world, you are the only one who does.
And, “THE” superhuman ability? There’s only one? To a reader you have words on the page, yes, but they have no meaning. And given that confusion can’t be retroactively removed, here's where you lost the reader.
Always edit as a reader, who lacks context, and who needs that context as-they-read. Fail that and you'll lose the reader before the end of the first stanza.

"the power is the superhuman, sense of ability"
-------------------------------
So you took a meaningless term and added another that clarifies not at all.

"my writing is called philosophical writing"

Naa. Making up a name for this doesn’t work. And though you claim to use only renaissance words, that began in 1300 and ended with the fall of Rome in 1527. The term superhuman, though, was introduced in mid 17th century, from late Latin: superhumanus. Didn’t you bother to check?
If writing poetry is your goal, take the time to learn what it is and how to write it. Shuffling terms around in succeeding lines—saying the same thing again and again, while claiming to be an innovator—doesn’t work. You have 19 pieces posted, but not one person was moved to comment. If you’re going to spend that much time typing, at least take the time to learn what poetry is. The goal is to please the reader, after all, not impress them. And like any other field, it’s all in the becoming.
