As a poet I affirm that writing poetry is gay but also posit that there’s a poetry horseshoe theory. I think for much of history poetry was the choice way for men to express themselves in a non-gay way, whereas the other side of the coin (the gay side) would be effusive yapping about feelings like a woman. Good poetry is masculine. And even bad poetry can be masculine. But effete poetry is always gay.
Yes it's feminine to just talk about your feelings and esp vulnerabilities directly but literally every cultural tradition praises the ability to do so in a mediated way that retains masculine swagger and virility... even the most aggro rock and hip hop music can be understood as this
