The View

THE VIEW (SADLY) I can't believe he has to be a poet To tell you how he feels Maybe he does not know When words are written on paper does not mean your wounds are going to heal properly To be or not to be? That is the question you should ask. The man should never call himself a poet Unless he has lived, learn, lost, and gained it back The man who writes good poetry In my eyes is a man of art He can paint you anything without a paintbrush This man I call a poet, with a colorful heart Using all his manly skills He is way ahead of the ordinary man Leaving the imagination, filling the soul with chills aroused ------- he calls for me While (I) the woman swims in tears She finds herself helpless Without a man, she thinks she is lost, nowhere to be found The secret of the female When she is broken She begins to feel and thinks life is over Little does she know her time will come When the time calls The lady is stronger than ever One thing I learned about a lady You better respect her (me) Don't destroy (my) her better days She will crumble you She will crush you where it hurts This is my demo to all ya poetry freaks Keep it real!! Don't steal my words. I have feelings too:) by:PD

Very, very strong poem, PD. I would never do that to you ... steal your words. They are your own, they're unique. You know how this poet man feels. You read my poem "Dairy Of." I'm in your corner on this one. I got your back should have to go on the attack against the haters and all articu-lacks. Love you always.

Very well-written. I had a few men write my poet and I was like oh please you saved this poem to like ten others girls. Poetry should be real and special. Very nicely written.

Food for thought. It is unlikely that without your warm welcome comment on my ballad that I would have discovered you quickly for I am a poet who writes almost exclusively with forms and rhyme. I wanted to answer your comment but know not how. (I am the father in that poem.) Have a good week. -Larry

Writing is powerful, when it is what the heart wants to say, kudos on the different perspectives. :-P A lady knows how to keep her emotional words real, yup you said it my friend, dig it. :)

I loved this specially this stanza: The man who writes good poetry. In my eyes is a man of art. He can paint you anything without a paintbrush. This is the man I call no poet, with a colorful heart. I always held that A poetess (or poet) paints with words. I hope it's ok I read your oldest poems too? I feel I learn a lot reading your poems and reviews.

Studying you and your craft is very challenge, but it well worth doing my research on you. You are an awesome poet even if you know it or not which I am sure you are. Your name speaks for itself. I hope one day your turn your words from pages to books.

Linda Another creative and unique write. You know how to always capture the readers interest and enjoyment. Every line you compose is full of feeling that pulls the reader into the poem allowing them to live it with you. Nice job my friend Hugs

WOW! Linda I love this. I have been called a Lady many a time. A poet I don't think I'm a very good one, but I just like to write. Once someone ask If I knew the difference between a Woman and a Lady. This is what i told them - A woman walks through a door, but a Lady always makes an entrance. I 'm glad to see you. did you read your Doup Mail. Lucilla

Paternally punishing with an intent to uplift PD. - A rich description of moral graduation; I like how you split the genders, ingenius! " Unless he has lived,learned,lost,and gained it all back..." this is the recipe my Sphinx, bravo! Your are The Lady - J.A.B. %

you certainly create dialogue, p.d, i've read alot of your poems after being here a couple of years, you are a awesome poet and so sensitive too, once you lower your guard. then again i like it when you are in an aggressive mood also. So i guess i just love what you do.

I truly think that hardly anybody here realizes they can see our old stuff. They took our poems away very briefly and when we complained they added them back on. But one thing they failed to do. They did not make it easy to view them "by form" Before I was able to find ANY form I ever wrote by just clicking on Form but now I can only do it for the last 200 forms. That really bums me out. Well, I need to get my contest up. Nice talking. Andrea

Here is your second one on here ,Irma. I remember really liking this one. You ask how many I have. I lost count a few years ago. I think at least 2,000. Maybe many more if you include every single dumb little thing. I don't do them lightly either. I spend a lot of time writing each one. that's what amazes me, to think of all the time I've spent writing my poems!! I blogged twice in the past of how our old poems are still showing, but the poets here didn't seem interested in learning about it.

Absolutely splendid work, Linda, that takes one on a roller-coaster ride of advice, admonishment, and wisdom...the true mark of a craftslady's work, M'Dear. Thank you for the sharing of your excellent poetry and for your generosity is helping me learn hoe to better pen my own work (free-style is with rhyme...free-verse without)...smile! Hugs to you, Linda! Rascal
