My first poem. It is a haiku. I never write poems. I'd love help please!

Poetry is hard
Words express what's in our heads
Am I effective?

You have to start somewhere! Well done, keep writing.

So this was your first poem. I think you can call it senryu, which is almost the same as Haiku.
As to subject and word choice, you did a good job! So..you are effective! .
Keep writing.

most effective! you were able to pen a very concise and most accurate poem here. the feelings of self doubt in our abilities are very real at any age. Poetry is hard, but start seeing it as a challenge and keep writing in order to get better at it and those feelings you have will dissolve and be replaced by confidence in your abilities... the structure is perfect and the reasoning is sound. Great work! Best, LHh

Congratulations for becoming a poet in your heart and spirit, M'Lady!
First-off, I love what you've said, because you state a couple of truths; then, because you expose your humility and honest desire to please your readers and learn.
I have not found these traits to be as common as one might believe, but they are most admirable and endearing, nonetheless … to me, anyway.
On the techy side: In Western World rules, the traditional Haiku is strictly about Nature, with no Human elements.
It is the Senryu that speaks of Human feelings, emotions, thoughts, etc; and, both forms are composed in three lines of 5/7/5 (17-syllables), where the Japanese compose their Haiku and Senryu in 17 "on" or Japanese language sounds, that do not compare with or translate into 17 English syllables. Both Western Haiku and Senryu, also, are free of punctuation and capitalization.
Here's trusting my words have brought you enlightenment, Dear Poetess. : )

I happen to consider you VERY "effective", and I thank you most gratefully for sharing You! ⁓ Richard

the final question we ask ourselves every time we write. For your first poem I would say well done.
