Poetry Confidence

It is easy for ones confidence to be dented

Doubting  self belief and ability

Amongst the calibre of  masterful wordsmiths

Writing  exceptional poetry


If doubt takes hold ….one must remember   

Each poet is unique,  thus writes differently

‘As is our likes and dislikes’

In this special world of  poetry

Can't believe that AI tool said it couldn't help me. I asked it if I was unique. It said I was a freak.

True words Deb... Poetry is the way we make sense and meaning of the world and this presents differently to each soul. We each have our unique voice. Keep yours strong my friend.

A "special" and definitely unique world it is, Deb! As you so wisely point out it is so important to remember that each poet writes with a "unique" voice and part of the fun of reading the PS poets is discovering that unique way of expressing their world. I loved this poem. Sending you blessings of health and happiness for the new year!

Touche' Deb, I read somewhere that we all may be tapping into the One Great Mind in the universe and may not be thinking our own separate thoughts after all. Perhaps we're all more connected on a deeper level than we realize. Still, thankfully, we all see and express life differently in all its beauty, ugliness and complexity. Love your poem for making me think. Hugs, Terrell

If you write something and are happy with it, who's to say otherwise, always write for thee not they. We're all individuals on here and all have our own styles and preferences, if we were all the same it would be boring. Tom

Exactly! Every poem is a poem, and every poet is a poet, and one must respect individual difference if one writes something they dont like , simply learn to appreciate the little things such as emotions and energy they put into writing. You are such a thoughtful soul beautiful debsz! I hope you are doing well! And i wish you a wonderful 2025! Sending you light always

Very on point -- poetry is unique as every soul who ventures into its mystical waters. Sometimes I may spend a half hour on one small poem, delving into its beauty and mystery before I make a heartfelt comment. Of course, then there are the FAVS! Poetry is blessed. Thank you Deb, for such an inspiring read.
