Creative Communication

We poets, writers, misfits of the world like artist or mystics or troubadours use our gifts to give insight to others we offer more pulling back the covers. We did not fit in with most of our peers. When young we were often taunted to tears. We often were quiet in our own zone. And most of the time you’d find us alone. We’re awkwardly honest most of the time. Our minds think rhythmically also in rhyme. Counting syllables can be frustrating. Keep the lines in each verse relating. Through each medium the end is the same. Sharing our thoughts is the name of the game.

we who've embraced our creative selves are blessed to be doing so. Our thoughts put into words are powerful. We must be courageous.

Oh, I found one i had overlooked!! Well, this is quite nice. Not sure if it portrays all of us here. I know I was shy as a little kid and always had my nose in a book though. I see others on here that I think may have been quite different as children!

I agree, I sometimes get too caught up in self and write to a small audience instead of making it for everyone. I was always the smallest person in every class and moved to a new school every year on average. That may have been the source of much of my "not fitting in". Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Andrea. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

This is quite a creative sonnet! I do hate counting syllables. Pull back those covers and create a little more. Nicely crafted.

It's fun to craft in specific forms for contest and such, and sometimes it brings out a clearer more precise poem, but it seems to me, sometimes we lose the passion and soul of our thoughts when we try too hard to make them fit a certain form. I've enjoyed reading your poetry, M.L. Write On! Bill

yes there are alot of people who are on their own or in their own little group because they don't fit in. They are creative!

I'd rather be alone and be who I'm meant to be, than surrounded by people that don't really know me. Thanks for the comment, Karen. Hugs, Bill

I'll get back to my regular pace soon, been taking care of business lately and still have our taxes to do in the next week or two. Thanks for reading and commenting on my poetry, Joe. Your comments are always good reading. Happy Trails, Bill

We poets are a class apart, slightly queer in our thinking . For the same reason we are often isolated, but we give insights that will benefit the world ! Fine write Bill
