9/17/2023 At times, we simply just do not think! We just adore other poets and their ink? Have you taken time, looking into your soul? Read your own poetry, discover poetic gold! You must fall in love with your life and self. Before a truthful line of poetry, will be felt. Otherwise, they are just simply lines on paper. About as impressive as an empty, salt shaker. Being you, fully, without a hint of reservation. Touching others, lighting souls with sensation!

Awesome Pangie !!! Yes yes yes . Such sage words . I agree wholeheartedly. We must love the self . The journey inward is difficult, but the rewards and bliss are worth every effort . Only then can we truly love others . My favorite passage - You must fall in love with your life and self Before a truthful line of poetry will be felt . The feeling comes from within ! Big hugs a Fav ! Xx love, Susan :)

Dearest Susan,…Writing to be like others …..is like being an empty shell on the sands of a deserted beach…it has nothing to say nor can it sing a song nor pen a poem. Poets pen sentences at times, that are like shells. Nothing in the poem. A poem needs a poet. Sentences are not poems.. Are you familiar with the phrase…NOBODY HOME? In some poems, nobody is home.I think loving life and yourself is primary.. then, you stir others hearts. Kind of like hearing great music playing! Glad We see the same poetic horizon…Gratefully.Pangie xx and thanks for pointing out what you liked ..))
