To us who are Poet's, A poem could be a inspiration or thought. We tend to look at things different then most people. We see things with deeper meaning, Like a artist with his brush. To some of us poet's, We like solitude, To others, noise and Laughter doesn't matter. We tend to shut out the world and be in our own. There's hero's, lovers, friends, and many more in our poems. There's satisfaction in our writing and not personal gain. Think of us as friendly writers as we spell and analyze every word. Writing is a gift, a blessing regardless if you rhyme. Like a time to escape to yourself. Where you can ponder and wonder, Clear out troubles, Understanding your surroundings. It can show your pains, sorrows, and many joys. So when you see someone with that blank stare. Pencil in hand. Tried looking into there face and see if you can tell. If there is a poet there. |

... so when you see someone with that blank stare, typing away without looking at the screen, try looking in her face and see if you can tell if there is a poet there. because, god knows, there isn't a proofreader in sight.  very nice poem, lori! but please try to be more careful with plural vs. possessive, grammar, and punctuation... please? |

I'm not a grammar purist by any means but I found this poem a very jarring read. I felt at times that you were trying for a certain voice that you didn't quite capture. However, this voice doesn't seem to match the theme of the poem. Maybe some editing might help? Just some thoughts, Brad |

Lori...The flow of this just doesn't work for me. Watch the small mistakes like grammer and puncuation. With some proper editing, you could have something here. Hey, with a subject matter like poets, how can you go wrong Ruth |

Lori I agree with Jenni. You can start with "To WE who are Poets [no apostrophe]". Nice thoughts, but work on the grammar. ------------------ Jim "Don't confuse me with the facts, I've already made up my mind." |
