For My Sake of Writing

It would not have mattered if those words made any sense, Nor how I looked like a nervous fellow Speaking those words aloud, writing them down As long as those disturbing thoughts Freed from me, escaped me, gone So soon forgotten. When I write poems Or if they are poems at all, They're for my enjoyment Really. Critique all you want, They're oblivious to the eyes Like an evening streetwalker's silhouette Soon forgotten. Sometimes words aren't meant to be touched But to simply exist To ease the pain The writer's woe Equal to the vomit draft Of an angry letter Never to be sent. It's a mess Really. In writing this, This thing! What is this, What is This? Nevertheless it is here through the touches of the keyboard Words that don't really make any sense But are there Making me more of a nervous fellow So soon forgotten Really.

Another week has come and gone and I haven't been able to read as much this week as I had wanted. I am glad I was able to read your poetry today Qui. Keep your pen scrolling don't let the ink dry up. I hope you have a wonderful weekend of sunshine and joy and find lots of inspiration along the way. Love, Carol

As long as a poem makes sense to you, Qui Bee, that's all that matters! I write some poems-like my children's poems-with an audience in mind. Others I write for myself! The poems I write for myself are the poems that I enjoy best.

It really doesn't matter if others find deep meaning in your words or not, we write because it releases something in side of us. It's a catharsis. Some folks take their poetry too seriously, but I'm here for the fun of it too, Qui, and I enjoyed the observations you made in this poem. Best wishes, Carolyn
