What Should I Be Aware Of

What Should I Be Aware Of That sure seems to be a magic question to me. There are always comments about my poems catching my attention. If my poem, was smooth, perfect and properly flowing it may be overlooked. I really wonder how many times a good poet has to rewrite their poem. I may be afraid to say it, but my vast writing takes away a significant amount of time that could be available to correct my works. I kind of wonder if there is such a thing as muse abuse being a perfect excuse to end up saying what is the use. When your and my ideas start to collide would mine I want to take off and hide? Another item often in suspense is verb tense and making no sense. I often may deliberately dream up words or make errors on purpose. It is almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Situations defined as real are real in their consequences. If I make you think it is your idea it will always be more appealing then my very own idea and me trying to ram it down your throat or into your mind. Poetry Soup always has so much readily available great advice at your convenience. Sometimes I become spell bound by the totality of Poetry Soup. I am so deeply indebted to Poetry Soup and each of its members. I couldn't ask for a better possible group to work with. Haven't you heard the latest? To me. all of you are the greatest.

Do you know what Nette? It is so much fun having fun. And another thing. The more fun I have the more I want. And lastly, I can never have enough and I would be happy and willing to give mine to anyone that they want to any time. The primary source of all happiness is God. If God has Me I am happy. If I have him I am as happy as can be. Interesting analogy. Jim Horn

Great thoughts and words you've written dear friend James. A FAV and a 7. Many a time quite a few poets on the soup have told me I've made mistakes. All this writing and helpful people really has broadened my learning capabilities a tremendous amount. Take care and hugs to you and your dear sweet loving wife.... Theresa Hummingbird

Accept my comment as recommendations not a criticism. God recommends several poems for me to write every day. It is up to me to write them. God said: "Thou shalt share and do it more abundantly." Do you know what I like about a bird that is humming? Back to me again, they will always be coming?
