we do not write about what we do not know the so-called visionaries in a frantic world savoring chances taken mourning lost opportunities advancing with unmatched passion a mere reflection of our double-life we do not write about what we do not know but of the esoteric world inside our heads of displaced bullets or the bothersome sometimes bull-headed black holes in our souls we do not write about what we do not know but of pain and suffering or pleasure (possibly pure ecstasy) and sometimes someone listens to the stirrings of our souls There must be a poem in here somewhere. |

I somewhat agree ... though some of us occasionally write a little fiction ... but, it is something we sometimes wish we knew ... or even sometimes, things we're glad we don't |

"and sometimes someone listens to the stirrings of our souls" Isn't it the truth? This is a real good ponder. Eric ain't doin nothin at all just answerin the call |

I think you are basically right, faithmairee. Most poets especially, write about what we know. We might expound on it from time to time to make the poem better, but poetry is a personal thing. We are wed to its words as though married to them. ~ Intolerant people are the people who do not believe the way we want them to, |

ah...now, this is really good...I agree with all those who said you are a pleasure to read...and this: "bull-headed black holes in our souls" was my favorite expression in a write of excellent phrases |
