All of them - due to lack of ability. |

I haven't written that one that makes everyone go 'OH MY GOD!'....and I haven't because I don't think I can! |

Sharon, PLEASE! you do that every time!  There are SO many that I haven't written, because I just can't get the words right. Almost like, by putting the idea into words, it changes it into something completely different than what it started out as. (er, something)  |

The one that can better explain my past, present and future self to the one I care about the most. Why not? Well, one word. Fear. |

Most of the important events in my life, since I was a young teen, have triggered at least one or two poems, and often many, many more than just the one or two. Poetry is not only the way I cope with life, it's usually the way I explain life to myself. The writing somehow forces me to see things in ways I would never have seen without it, and I never fail to learn something about myself when I put words to paper. Yet in spite of that, and in spite of KNOWING it would help, I still haven't written about the death of my parents. It will be five years this August that my dad died, and four years the same month for Mom. And I haven't written a single word, nor have I even tried. Why? Lack of courage, I suppose. I'm afraid I could never capture the emotions well enough to make others understand and feel what I felt and feel. I'm afraid I would fail miserably in the attempt. And I think I'm even more afraid that I might not fail. |

This one... http://nan.netpoets.net/nancy/seaing.htm Why? I guess it would be because I'm still unsure where those steps are taking me??..  Ron - You can borrow the one I just wrote for my own dad.. Oddly enough, I'm pretty happy with it...   [This message has been edited by Nan (06-04-2002 08:24 PM).] |

Ok....I see Marge writing about her granddaughter and cannot find the words to write about my grandson...perhaps some of us have a problem writing about the closest feelings in our heart..and I don't write about the man I'm in love with..... |

very interesting answers. . . I'm going to say something along the lines of what Ron said about not writing about the death of his parents. . . there's one more poem that I haven't written for my own Father. . . and, it's almost time. . . -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I haven't written about anything that's happened in these last few days, because it's still too raw.... God bless America, my home sweet home. |

I haven't written that poem that was so deep and so heartfelt that even I was amazed by it. I haven't written anything that has made me actually and truly proud to write the way I do. I've always written to express....and to help me remember what I've been through so I don't live without knowing how I became the way I am. However, I don't think I've been completely honest in my poems. I'm always afraid to write about certain things..... deeply, I feel lost and alone....and I'm always blaming it on the fact that I was completely heart broken over and over again by the same girl, but I haven't put the blame on myself. I know I wasn't an angel...but it's hard to admit it and know just WHERE I messed up....I wish I could write a poem on that.... anyway, yeah thats it. hehe |

Sven, yes, because they're too close... because we're scared.... because no one can anticipate what will happen because of something they've done. I wrote one poem that I couldn't write... but the person will never read it because I'm too scared. I'm terrified that he might react in a weird way and it's too close to my heart for me to be able to deal with that. |

This is a tough question. I think I've just about puked up every detail of my life in poetic form... Not sure what is still there to write. I could pen a poem about the outrageous costs of my medicine, or the stupid idea of poisoning yourself with those meds in order to prolong your life.... Honestly though, the only thing I can think of is a poem exploring the idea of my death, and the only reason I haven't even tried is because of our policy of works dealing with suicide - not sure I could write about my demise and not breach that mutually agreed upon taboo. That and jock itch... really wanted to scribe a diddy about itchy scrotums....  Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |
