Who Can Break Up This Circle of Wonderful Friends

Who can break up this circle of wonderful friends... called amateur and professional poets? We encourage each other, suggesting modifications where needed, and we shouldn't be upset, but appreciate that they've noticed our mistakes: such as wrong forms and typos... because we don't see what they see! I have taken their invaluable advice, and seen my poetry in a new light... even small changes can improve my lines. Now, words flow and mistakes are few... I am glad to receive their sweet comments and be honored as winner in their contests! Joy and pride are inseparable emotions: as pen and thought, or mind and heart! We should thank God for having found these brilliant poets who inspire and guide us, what they have achieved, we can also achieve... persistence and passion are the golden keys to success. Everyone is unique in their own way, some write in a contemporary style which flows with simplicity, and that we all understand, but others choose a classical style as the Great of literature to dazzle us...while their words make us pause and reflect. Whichever subject or form you choose, create your best poetry by taking in consideration the effect it will have on all. Famous poets wrote the masterpieces that survived the ages, ours will not be read until someone discovers them as these poets will...giving us encouragement and praise, then who can break up this circle of wonderful friends?.
