Why Poems?

What is it about poems that I write? A feeling, a motion, frustration? A angry moments of my life? That cannot be explain in any other way? A therapy that is the best one? That I just need to get out of my chest? It feels good throwing it all away. Why do I feel like this? So confused but happy. It seems weird having two opposite thoughts Running toward each other like zig zag. Why am I a person with two different moods?

What you experience at each moment of creativity is call the synthesis ... when thesis meets antithesis ... when expectations meet reality ... look out ... it carries a lot of power too. Love always

I completely understand. I write to get things out, too. I know some of it doesn't mean much to others and some of it does. But it helps to get it out of you. good write. Ashley
