The Power Of Positive Comments

I am a confident, content person l know and like who l am I know my strengths and weaknesses Me …l understand Though at times , l lack confidence in aspects of my academic ability I have never really considered myself creative or smart Recently my self doubt has been boosted Creating a positive change of heart The recent Alphabet poems l have written Alphabet gossip being the subject Have received unbelievable encouraging comments Comments, l truly did not expect Words like clever, imaginative ,creative Words l can’t and won’t ignore Have elevated my fluctuating confidence Like never before I want to sincerely thank those poets Who voiced such kind, genuine positivity The power of your thoughts and words Have encouraged a more confident academic self belief in me

Yes Deb, positive comments can definitely boost up our confidence. I have read only one of your alphabet poems. I had thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep expressing your sense of humor.

it's always a great feeling to read positive comments, deb, but you should never doubt yourself, even if you don't get a single comment at all (or worse, a negative one, which should never happen). if you are satisfied with what you write, that's the most important thing, but, of course, it's wonderful to get some encouragement, too...

I read your poem, Keep Away, Deb and the comment made by someone who refused to explain what it meant. That kind of discouragement is not supposed to be allowed on the site. Of course, it was deleted when you took that person to task over it, and before many could see it. It's par for that person's outspoken manner.

I’m sure your intellect is fully intact, Deb. You enjoy my poems, which demonstrates astoundingly good taste and displays a profound understanding of creative art. All this leaves me in little doubt that you recognise balderdash when you see it. Let me know if you encounter any. Terry.

Knowing Deb, I'm sure you're still in her good graces, Terry.

Ahem… perhaps I should have added, “You are, of course, a smashing poet.” ( phew, think I got away with that!)

- (I will be 100% honest) ... - if I don't like a poem or have something positive to write to the poet ... I will move on without commenting ... I hope most people do the same - The day my poems don't get comments ... I will stop posting ... it's important to get feedback on what you write - The power to continue, Deb :) - hugs

I enjoyed reading your lovely write. First, it is nice when people say, Thank You. Second, poetry and words can be very powerful. Comments are Words that are powerful. Only great comments should be written to bring the writer up to write even better. Remember "You" are a Great Writer. So Now Write On and Have A Blessed Day..............
