OK, Ok...I'm a POET? Gezzzzzzzzzzzz You think, I am SO heavy! I only express "IT", to get "IT" out!! Why can't you just accept that? No, you read TOO much into "IT" You flatter yourself too much You WILL, to find a reason to believe That YOUR the reason behind the rhyme! Every solitary written time The method to MY madness! You think is caused by YOUR sadness? Yeah...... RIGHT! Just chill.... sit back, and read between the lines You will eventually see! See, who I am Years of pain expressed Not just ours! So, sit back...... look at the REAL me Realize this is who *I* am In this written MOMENT!!! Expression exemplified! To live in my OWN crazy world For MY way, written to find! So realize, when I write it is for ME NOT for YOU only! Even though I choose to share Just so, I may live on to let ME grow with my pain And my heart felt overjoy! haha! That is what makes ME write and let's ME face tomorrow So never take ME too seriously UNLESS......I tell you too!! I am just a poet I can get way too blue and crazy too!!!!! A manic for the ZOO!! For everyone and anyone including YOU! My words though ring true! For I am poet..... Through and through! [This message has been edited by Scarlet Lady (edited 02-04-2001).] |

I have to disagree with you G. Poetry is not always only for the writer. In fact, most of mine is to be shared with others. It's the only way I can express myself some times. Anyway, a good poem.

I like your thoughts here, though I do feel Poetry is for the writer as well as the reader, we all get what we need from the words. Take care! " I have seen without perceiving I have been another man Let me pierce the realm of glamour So I know just what I am"....Dweller on the Threshold, |

Thanks for your replies! I guess I was not REALLY saying that poetry is ONLY for the poet. It was more of an *expression* of how sometimes we can just be writing something, simply to write "IT". We do not always need "true" life experiences to write! As poets...... something can just hit us.....an idea let's say, and we can write! However, when we do write, people can automatically assume that the piece is speaking from experience or current situations. Make sense? I hope so....after all I am just a poet!  |

I totally agree with you that poetry is only for the poet, but sometimes someone relates to it well... which kind of makes it special to them. Thanks for the read, you have an unique style. Jeremy "zzzIzzzAMzzzJEREMYDRAULzzz" |

I understand your points but I do think that the writing depends on the poet. I know with me 99% of my work is drawn from my own experiences and feelings, but that is only me and I know others are diferent. And by the way you're not JUST as poet either. Take care!"

Alrightyyyyyyyy then!! I am here to put my 2 cents in  First off, very well written and expressed poem here. Secondly, I too also write from my life and maybe some *dreams* also But to each their own. So many of the poet's poems here help me in soooooooo many ways. They give me different guide lines and ways to think of different way to overcome what I am going through. Anyways, nice subject. I am sure it is making many think! Mags No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry |

I have no trouble following this, I think that maybe the quotation marks were throwing some off, but not me. I follow ya Good write here, and beware of writing poetry for yourself here which is dark, or bewildering, it will be edited because of its depicting content.Still angry, but enjoyed the read, Jeremy "Those little slices of death, how I loathe them." -Edgar Allen Poe |

Hey I really liked this one. I like your style of writing, very dif. from what I see around here. I also think like this sometimes, very nicely done!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Scarlet Lady, very good poem. Here is my five cents worth (since two cents don't exist in Australia) Poetry is only for the writer... until it's placed on paper or computer or whatever and then it becomes something for both...so that writers and readers can take what they from it...Once a writer has borrowed the words they become only for the writer until... Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Ok, I have to join in here. I read at first that what was being said is that poetry is for the poet only, and I was about to disagree, then I read your return response about how not every written piece is actually LIVED by that poet. And how true! Most of my poetry is written from my heart, and the emotions that life influences. But some are written just from being the outsider, or watcher, hoping that the piece may touch someone who had to go through it. I try to write not just as myself, but as every other soul in the world (what a tough job!) So I believe that there are times when the poem is for the writer, times when the poem is for the reader, and times when we poets just want to goof off. That's what makes poetry such a magical art. With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |
