The Prismatic Self - POTD

"Poetry is important to the writer but I feel it is all about the reader." By Poet
Today as I open up my computer what will I see, a contest looking back at me? As I read the rules I must decide is this one for me, or will it haunt me if I turn it away? No mask needed to read the many rules, I am only writing when the words flood my creativity. My ego must sit upon a shelf watching, but not a word to be whispered or said. Win or lose I have tried my very best, not knowing what the judge is looking for. My purpose is to first write for my readers, only when they love my writings do I feel I am a winner. I keep returning to the contest page over and over, in hopes to learn how to become a better writer. Poetry is the language of a human poet’s heart, mind and soul writing away.

Dear Paula, if your words connect with those reading them, then you're a great writer. Contests may help with creativity and forms, but that's about it. Writing from the heart makes you a winner, every time. Congratulations my dear sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
