Create post form data not submitting to database?

Hi all, I once again am having a hard time with another form submission. I have tried to replicate past questions regarding this issue, but nothing seems to work. I may be missing a small detail but I cannot figure this out. I am hoping for help again.

Webphp

Auth::routes();

Route::get('/posts', 'PostController@index');
Route::get('/posts/create', 'PostController@create');
Route::post('/posts/create', 'PostController@store');
Route::get('/posts/{post}', 'PostController@show');
Route::get('/posts/{post}/edit', 'PostController@edit');
Route::patch('/posts/{post}', 'PostController@update');
Route::delete('/posts/{post}', 'PostController@destroy');

Route::post('/register', 'Auth\RegisterController@create')->name('register');

Route::get('/contact', 'ContactController@create');
Route::post('/contact', 'ContactController@store');

PostController

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Post;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }

    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::all();

        return view('post.index', compact('posts'));
    }

    public function create()
    {
        $post = new Post();

        return view('post.create', compact ('post'));
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $data = request()->validate([
            'title' => 'required',
            'body' => 'required'
        ]);

        $post = \App\Post::create($data);

        return redirect('/posts');
    }

    public function show(Post $post)
    {
        return view('post.show', compact('post'));
    }

    public function edit(Post $post)
    {
        return view('post.edit', compact('post'));
    }

    public function update(Post $post)
    {
        $post->update($this->validatedData());

        return \redirect('/posts');
    }
    
    public function destroy(Post $post)
    {
        $post->delete();

        return redirect('/posts');
    }

    protected function validatedData()
    {
        return request()->validate([
            'title' => 'required',
            'body' => 'required'
            //'photograph'=> nullable
            //'gif'=> nullable
        ]);
    }
}

Migration

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
    /**

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->longText('body');
            // $table->#('photograph');

            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
