I pour my heart out into a glass and serve it to each of you And as you sit there digesting my soul I hold my breath My words are like a gangly teenager stumbling across the page They lack the ease of someone comfortable within their own skin And so I wait with bated breath for someone to find me out discover my secret fear that I don't belong here in this realm where the souls of true poets reside |

( smiling) My dear lady.... you belong here as much as any... don't forget it... this is beautifully said and presented.. I applaud the courage it take to admit the fear... and the talent it takes to present it this well.. |

Hogwash! You completely belong here, and I, for one, enjoy your writings. Let judgement reside elsewhere -- here, simply thoughts, emotions, memories, and impressions are stirred, and you contribute as nicely to this as anyone else here. -MVS "It's all in the details -- the Big Picture always takes care of itself." |

Huh! I say. ...I pour my heart out into a glass and serve it to each of you And as you sit there digesting my soul I hold my breath... This verse is outstanding. Someone will profit So write on and write with pride Art can’t be condemned Melton |

I'll toast not roast such honesty which as far as I'm concerned is true poetry. I do understand the tentative and timorous tiptoing to posting but do it anyway. A good and honest write. |

Awww...you sweet dear people....thank you! I can't help but feel self-conscious but you all have always made me feel welcome. This poem is just about that moment right after I've hit the "submit" button before anyone has replied. It is scary sharing something so close to your heart! Cpat Hair~ Thank you sir for always being there. You're always one of the first to reply to my poems and I'm always encouraged by your words big hugs to you! Mark~ hehe, hogwash...love that! thank you for the sweet thoughts...as always, they are something worth pondering. 2dalimit~ thank you for the encouragement MidniteSun~ What a beautiful thought! Thank you so much RSWell~ thank you for understanding that is one of the most beautiful things about this place, there is always someone out there who understands...."tentative and timorous tiptoing" I think there's a poem in that sir! Lady~ hehehe ah sweet Lady...thank you! For the chuckle and your kinship Sven~ I do so love what you do with words thank you for the kind reply! Thank you all! Hugs all around "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |

That 'submit' moment can be scary...sometimes, I just close my eyes and do it. |

Oh, SweetLittleSmittenKitten~ We all have felt that moment~ Just ask us ... we'll all concur~ I still remember that first night~ That's EXACTLY the way I felt~ And suddenly ... there they were ... the friends of the circle ... taking my hand ... and pulling me in~ We love ya' here .... and don't EVER forget it~ Love ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

You belong...and you will grow and you will know when you grow and you will feel more complete. This is a great approach and I for one really like it! |
