Sometimes my words
dont come out right,
the way i want them
too.
Like a silly little
girl writing elementary.
But nonetheless there
MY words and my thoughts.
To the outside eye
they dont do a thing
but what does it matter,
is ego more important?
Sometimes its good
to get some praise
but in the end if
the praise is all
that matters then
the words are not
true.
This is my truth.
Wether good or bad.
The only true opinion
that matters
is my own.

I never thought your words elementary, dreamgal, but on the other hand maybe elementary would be a good place for all of us to return to.

This, dear dreamgal, is probably something that we can all relate to. Somehow we are never totally satisfied with how we express our thoughts. It is important though to share our writings with others, interaction is enriching. There is always a message in what we write, for ourselves no doubt, but also for those who may read. And it is normal to feel glad when our message gets through and somehow touches others. When they communicate this to us through approval and positive comments or even through critics, it always means that we stirred their interest and that feels good.

Regarding your thoughts about writing in an "elementary" style, I think that would be a quality to be proud of and I love Jerry's opinion about this. Essentiality is a goal to pursue.

Write on and feel good in doing so, dear Dreamgal, I love to read you and I always enjoy your work and this one is no exception.

Love,
Margherita

Margherita stole my words. Teacher, I want them back! Make her give them back!



Elementary...maybe. From the heart? Positively!

Hi dreamgal,

I share those insecurities and hope that I never find myself writing for praise.  I appreciate the honesty of your poetry, and don't get lost in how it can be improved.  I don't want improvement - I want to see inside the writer.  You share that with us.

true.
This is my truth.

  I believe that it is easy to get lost in the praise and critique and lose our selves.  I like your poetry and am glad that you have found your balance.
