today i asked a friend if i was a good poet.
then i remembered the reson why i write
i write to free the pain within me
as each word flows though my mind
it flows through each line.
i do not look to be jugde
i do not look to jugde
you are you
and i am i
each poem i write is a peice of cotton wooven through my mind
each word within the poem is a cut on my heart.
if you a judgeing my poems, you are judging yourself not me.
your own perseption of a poem is,
mirror
lost hopes, dreams
joy, pain,
all within every word, every line
Judge these poems, and see who you really are.
Thank you Declan for reminding me why i write
Poetry is written from the heart and soul, who cares if it isnt liked by everyone, as long as it means something to you i liked this piece very well done :) 10!

Well if Declan doesn't like your poems, then it is his loss. You write beautifull and from the heart, and I echo what Amy said too. I have a poem called The Song Of The Soul, and that is exaclty what poetry is...the song of the soul. When our soul sings to us, we write it down, just like you have done here. And you are right about why we write poetry. You have seen most of my poems so far, and you know the pain I have, so when that pain, sadness, fear, loneliness, depression gets to be too unbearable, I write a poem about it. But I also write soft poems too. It doesn't matter who doesn't like your poetry, because poetry is a personal thing from the soul of the writer. The ones who don't like your poetry are the ones who don't like themselves. I love the way you write little sis, because what you write and the way you write it has a deep message for the reader to think about. Your poems make us all take a good look inside of ourselves. Even those of us who have the confidence to be who we are. If we don't look inside of ourselves now and then, we lose sight of who we are, and that is a bad thing. So you just write your way and don't let others sway you because they don't like what you write. There are those of us who do like your poems. Take care lil sis. Love & hugs, your big sis, Barbara
