You, Are Not a Psychiatrist

Don't use psychoanalysis on poetic friends! You have no degree, and you never spent even one hour with them, personally. If you possess no degree, or never worked in psychiatry, Be their friend, stop being Dr. Sigmund Freud. Be a friend, unequivocally! A poem is an expression of a poet's heart in rhyme. Analyze the poem, not the poet..... Better to accept and to love them in real time! 2/24/2021 ~1~

Sage advice, Pangie. Some more sage advice. Tell 'em this: Urinalysis belongs in a medical lab, not in a poetry group... Encourage, encourage, encourage. Flowers love sunshine... ~ Up, up and away

So true, the poem is what folks should analyse. Leave the headsrinking to Dr Freud lol. Tom

LOL... Tom We barely know all the poetry forms or tried them. I am still news to them. Head shrinking and the many forms of mental illness are their expertise. I am lucky to just put a few words tether ))) Pangie

Hi Panagiota, I like what you said, “ analyze the poem, not the poem.” Well said and well done. Have a great day:-) Alexis
