Just Because

Just Because

Just because we are trying to sell ourselves and poetry
Doesn't mean we have to do it for a profit. 
Tell me one famous poet who was trying to make a profit. 
Trying to make a profit becomes a pitfall, obstacle and 
Often removes our creativity and open mindedness. 
I am writing my poems to satisfy myself and 
Meet my own personal interests.  
There are over 30,000 people on 
www.poetrysoup.com and www.story-telling-around-the-world.com 
trying to and doing the same thing. 
They serve as an instigator and invigorator. 
Okay, so I read another's poem and say I can do better then that. 
Or, I read their poem and say that gives me an idea to write a poem about.             Or receive a supportive comment increasing and Encouraging my ambition. 
I will put this on www.poetrysoup.com and www.story-telling-around-the-world.com                                                                                                        To see what they have to say about it. 
I am reading and listenly closely. 
I mean listening. 
I have just created another word in the English Vocabulary.

Bonnie Hollywood-Cutts Date: 12/18/2014 8:24:00 PM So true. My poetry I write for release and just because I can. Less violence in a physical nature and more of it on paper . I share my poems with the world because they need to know they arent alone in life . I can write quickly and about any topic All I need is a plimpse into something or someone's life to pen out something for them. My dream is to publish my novels for a living and share my poetry as a gift to the readers,.

My poems just come flying out and I write them down. Typing is something else though that I hate. Just remember Merton's Self-fulfilling Prophecy and make other person think that your idea is their's. Would like to see you write a poem about Hobbit latest movie. Jim Horn
