Poetry Is Not Jealousy

How can one be jealous of another poetry we all use the same dictionary If jealousy is the only key to your poetry Then your are far from being a poet A poet can see the love in words in what they read Your jealousy just shows others you have no poetry If there is a poem you do not enjoy then It was not written for your ears Not all colors do I like but blue and yellow can make, green So never be envy with green create your own colors So, your poetry can be seen.

My new found friend with an expanding mind...poetry is a reflection of self...in my journeys, I have found that we are all one...only fragmented thru Divine purpose..I'm sure you have heard that before...so how can we be jealous of ourselves...only at the illusion of reflection...great write Bobby... you are an old Soul my little one..full of lost and fresh wisdom ready to be unleashed...love & light...^WW^

People are funny sometimes Silent One, I have learned in my life time and my mother taught me, to be kind to people and so far it's worked out pretty good. :-)

This was really a great poetic message Bobby. I don't understand people being jealous of another poet's work, to me, everything I read is something for me to learn from. There are so many gifted poet's on this site that if someone chose to be jealous, they wouldn't have time to do anything else. :) Nicely done.

Thank you Chris! I don't really get jealous myself, I guess it's more admiration but some of their poetry blows me away.
