 there is myself and countless others to continue this poetical dead art (and I'm not too sure about myself) still . . . I am a man who writes words in a continuous line to make poetry I do it without reassurance sometimes I forget to eat my future lies in my inglorious past but the fire is still with me to write bad poetry I don't use riddles to confuse I'm flattered when I've been spoken well of by persons who take the time to read my twaddle aficionados of poetry those looking for a silver lining don't go thinking I tend to a gentle art take a good long look at me on nights when the moon has been hidden look upon the despicable trap I've woven myself into �June 11, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Beautifully done poetry, Ms E, and thank you, for your said inspiration. Yours is much more positive than I in my self abusive poem today. Thank you again. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

The good, the bad, the ugly. A poem just needs someone to read it and maybe remember it. Ida |

You are right, Ida. Sometimes we poets tend to try to analyze our own work a little too much I think. That's where I guess this one came from. Thank you very much for reading it and commenting. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

JerryP - As long as we poets realize that ink flows in our veins along with blood, we'll write forever. It's our therapy whether we like it or not. Enjoyed your words JP. Namyh |

Yeah, you're right,Namyh, I wandered into the no-man's land of thought-proving tapestry, but wound up with egg on my face it seems. Thank you for being here. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

You're right Jerry, there's no professionals here and competition shouldn't be the basis of our expressions. So here we are just being as open as the mind and heart allow. You just did that in this piece so it becomes a part of you let out to create, yes you guessed it! Poetry! Discouragement is a part of the cycles of our biological makeup just as well as confidence and positiveness. We feed off all of them. The trick is to learn from it all and that should make a better us. This is called being raw and harsh with oneself but also having the guts to expose one's need for self examination. Great stuff! Take Care Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

Thank you Eric. Sometimes a bit of self-introspection is a good thing, kinda gives you a better understanding of yourself, if you're honest. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
