why do we write in words so trite of so many sunrises, the way a river flows of so many sunsets the vagrant ways of love so boring to keep writing what everybody else may read and like to read all the time so useless to keep trying to make everyone else feel good and happy all the time sometimes it is necessary to make oneself happy too and be that way for a few small moments at least it is important to feel good about oneself and think ‘yes, I am a star ’ and talk to the face in the mirror with a smile or two and see the reflection throw back a smile or two how about buying a smile for yourself and donating a spot of joy to self be selfish for once for a small moment or two it is important just once in a while or twice perhaps! |

How true Sudhir! And, we should write what we are inspired to write...should we not? Write for our own pleasure first? Good thoughts here! ~Hugs~ |

SudhirMyFriend~ To read of the beauty of a sunrise, To share the gleam of laughter in children's eyes, A sounding rush the river makes shares the joy the poet has made~ And then when one writes of self I know the poet has shared with me the very thing that lets us see the instruments of his poetry~ It gives great joy to read and write of all things~ A poet writes for self first ... and shares with the world~ Nothing 'selfish' in that my friend~ Enjoyed~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

sudhir, smiling at you across the miles here...sometimes I wish I could stop writing all together. But I am very glad that YOU do, thanks for the wisdom of keeping it all in perspective! Enjoyed this very much. |

"how about buying a smile for yourself and donating a spot of joy to self be selfish for once for a small moment or two it is important just once in a while or twice perhaps!" (smiles) Yes, yes, I believe the best thing about poetry in general is that it is meant to make ourselves happy, and when we learn about ourselves and find joy and pride in ourselves, we then spread our love to others and share with them this wave of enchantment, and we all become vendors and donate smiles to each and every friend we create in our hearts! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friends, your words are always so delightful to read, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
