Faithfully

Appreciating yourself, when others turn away with scorn. Each day, you must love you as the sun doth the morn! Feed your body, and nourish your dreams. Pay no mind to those who give you no heed. They are as shards of glass! And people who do not understand class. They might consider your poetry, to theirs,quite inferior! That's because their poets. hearts exist in their posteriors. Remember to laugh at the gods on poetic unicorns! Hugging non-existent Muses in falsely lighted uniforms. This is a magnificent place, where you can indeed pen freely. It's not the Roman Coliseum; the true poets honor you here, dearly. Many will avoid your work like bubonic plague. They may have the virus, it's all the rage! Love those who appreciate you, avoid the rest. Who are "they?"- the poets who dream they are the best. So, now! Please write this very day. Making believe you are blossoms on the first day of may. 10/24/2020 Poem 2

To be original, one must be willing to relinquish the need for people's approval. When you are able to believe in your own creation, you are free to create with imagination. "Pay no mind to those who give you no heed" - very inspiring words! ~ John

Hi John.. Great, great comment. You know what ML told me! Did you come here to get comments or...to write Pietry. Best advice I ever heard. Many here to be comment collectors only. I REALKY don't understand, as if getting the most comments or winning trophies makes anyone great. At least trophy winners are writing. Pangie

For sure; write because it is your heart, and who you are at the center. Write because you love to write, and Love is your Divine Maker. Blessings my friend. About a week left. Still think our man will win.

Joe..heard to stock up on food now...before the election. The wild ones won't accept the results. The weeping and gnashing of teeth. Oy! Good advice about writing from the heart and not to please the world. Thanks, Prince de Mino. Watch newsmax or OAN. Fox has become quite left. Pangie. Xx

Dont agree, Regina. The couplet, the Haiku FOOTLES are not my style. I use them because I have yet to be an originalist Anyone who has a vocabulary, including kids, can follow a formula. That's fine but so what? It's akin to following a recipe. Is is art? You tell me. Putting pictures on? A poem should be strong enough to stand on its own, of my 1,608 poems, I used two real images, one of me. One of a basilica in Indiana. Lots of reads on the one of me. But few comnents. That was a waste of time. Better I had written about a bunny,s butt...LOL

Everyone has their own technique and poetry, like other arts, is ever changing. Why not create a new form or variation? I know where you're coming from.

So glad you understand. EE Cummings had his own way and most Pietry sites do not even list him. Frost is not that Good. Boring and dull as all get out. Cant stand Dickinson either! Cummings was far deeper. Most won't agree with me. So what? I go in my own direction.Write as you choose.. Bully on the rest.

Indeed, Tom. But the reality is...we don't like to be not commented to. You dish out love freely. The boneheads who don't respond..,off your list to read, period. Unless you like to glued to the Community board. It's not hard to do. But that won't make me a better poet, it's the writing, where joy is. A few friends are enough for me. Plus loving Life offline. I know how addictive it can be. Every poem does not need to be in a contest.Yikes..Pangie
