I told Angeline I didn't like her poems three times in a row I realised it took courage not to deny her my truth |

you can like some of the poems all of the time, and even like all of the poems some of the time, but you'll never like all of the poems all of the time. oh man, i love twisting old phrases about. you're right, it does take courage to speak your truth. if someone asks, they're basically making themselves open to the reality of your honesty. the trick? learning to be gently honest, especially when it has the potential to sting. |

but did you give her the reasons why? ~Wynter "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. |

 (sigh) I am sure she could respect your opinion, as long as you explained why you didn't like them! (big hugggssssss) It sure takes a lot of courage to be honest sometimes! (sigh) Powerful verse, dearest friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

The truth should never be denied. Not even to spare one's feelings. Well done, faterider.  All writing comes |

Yes, it took courage on your part to say so and courage on her part to listen. Very well written. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

oh yes, i did tell her why her works are not exactly my cup of tea...she used a lot of alliteration and other literary devices in her writings, which i didn't really take to because i prefer simple, honest, down-to-earth writings... she accepted my explanation with style...after all, she didn't consider my musings as poetry either.. which reminds me of something i have forgotten to say: if you think my writing sucks, please tell me..i am thick-skinned enough..  thanx all... |
