Be a poet for the people - not for the system Always be true to who you are. Write what your heart feels. Write what you believe. Ignore the negative voices. Lose yourself in your words. Never forget why you began writing. Never let them change you! Silent One 15 February 2018

Like Robert Dr Nero said....."You talkin' to me?" I began writing to get my husband out of my system. Now it's just pure joy of self expression. You shine like a beacon to me since my first poem Silent. Thank you.

what would be referred to as "the system"? institutionalized and inveterate sleaze factors from within the very superstructure of the society or from within the entire society?

To find one's voice in poetry takes time and persistence. I began writing because I wanted to express myself. Enjoyed the wisdom in your poem. / M

oh how funny, I had just gone to someone's poem and called them a "poet's poet" and here is a title very similar. Let me read it now, and thanks for my placement in your last contest.
