(Show Details...)
Bloggers PhotoMy Biography is Coming Soon... When I was 13 years old I began my conquest Of poetry. I put my hobby on hiatus after Determining that my efforts were fruitless. After ten years I returned to writing. This Episode i was much improved. I wasn't Able to keep track of any of my early work Due to a number of relocations. Now I am an Active member of poetrysoup where I have Published about 400+ poems including: HAPPINESS OF LIFE ON THE PATH OF PASSION TWILIGHT LIFE SHOOTING STAR DREAMER WHEN DREAMERS DREAM OF TRIUMPHS That's a micro collection.

IS IT WORTH THE INK

Blog Posted:5/27/2015 10:06:00 PM

Poetry, the further up you travel, the harsher the climb. More the 20,000,000 poets. Each with their

Own psalms.  Never ending and endearing. Some are even  professional and hot of the presses. Getting

Paid worthless pennies. Except if you're very very good.  Excellent. Then  you get to BE newly crowned one ofThe many pretty gold plated  coins.  How annoying. Only after death do you get what you've deserved for so 

Long.  Now, is it worth it? The steep climb up the mountain  Of hopes and dreams and more cast aways 

And destroyed dreams, Oh don't misunderstand  I still want it  and I'm  good but not nearly GOOD enough to 

begin the climb. There isn't  enough space  at the top for everyone,anyhow. There Are  thousands of 

Love poems of identical titles. Is it worth it?  Maybe yes. For the enjoyment. Point blank. Nothing else.

Val Brooklyn Rogers

PS. I've. Decided to continue to write in order to share my worth gems with  anyone who cares to read 

Them.   An  unsung HERO :-)

Val, it has been said that "there is no money in poetry....but then there is no poetry in money". I write because I love to write, to create, to explore the hidden recesses of myself, to free myself to truly see and feel. My writing mantra is "DON'T FIGHT IT! WRITE IT!! The knowledge that others read and enjoy some of my poetry amazes me.

Many fantastic poets are never made famous. Many minor poets so noted and known are better than some of the so-called greats IMHO. Which is specially true of the "recently crown greats" of modern times--last 50/60 years . Write because you have that need, if fame ever comes - pray its after you are dead and do not have to truly live up to it!! That seems to be the norm..
