well I love writing poetry (that force is strong with me).
but I sometime question myself is what I write the true meaning of what lies beneith my aching body, or are these just words???

I tend to want to believe that what I write is of my heart and soul and that I am writing with a sound mind. Other times i think these words a fruitless (that eats me real bad).

I can't describe the feeling I get when someone reads my work and loves it. I also can't describe the gut-wrenching pain I feel when someone downs all the hard work I produced

Am I goin nuts!!!

I use to write, I express things thru my photos I take now.

I think poetry is an expression of what we feel in one shape or form.

I'm a poet, and I do even know it!

I try to write at least one poem a week, just to keep my creative juices flowing. It's a good release for me, as I know they are words that come from deep inside me. But I really don't like anyone to read it. Some stuff I let people read and for the most part they like it. But I never see any work that I do as fruitless.

Not to be, I'm sorry.

Of course you're going nuts. :) That goes without question. :)

:p

Are you saying you arent feeling what you're writing? If so is it because you force yourself to write when you arent in the vibe?

I sometimes do that and then dont like what I write. The poems that I tend to like of my own are the ones I wrote while REALLY feeling the emotions, but you cant always just write during those times (sorry, poorly worded) else you tend to feel a failure. :(

Do you have any of your work in a journal here on the board?

you fake bast...

**Yawns** You thought I was kidding? If you are dumb enough to think that, perhaps you would be dumb enough to post your unprotected work on this site.

When you consider the radiance, that it does not withhold
itself but pours its abundance without selection into every
nook and cranny not overhung or hidden; when you consider

that birds' bones make no awful noise against the light but
lie low in the light as in a high testimony; when you consider
the radiance, that it will look into the guiltiest

swervings of the weaving heart and bear itself upon them,
not flinching into disguise or darkening; when you consider
the abundance of such resource as illuminates the glow-blue

bodies and gold-skeined wings of flies swarming the dumped
guts of a natural slaughter or the coil of s hit and in no
way winces from its storms of generosity; when you consider

that air or vacuum, snow or shale, squid or wolf, rose or lichen
each is accepted into as much light as it will take, then
the heart moves roomier, the man stands and looks about, the

leaf does not increase itself above the grass, and the dark
work of the deepest cells is of a tune with May bushes
and fear lit by the breadth of such calmly turns to praise.

Hey if you check out my journal you'll see some poetry. Take it all you want(anyone), b/c it takes someone who can recall their past experiences to know what I'm talking about.

Griff, my personal recommendation, is you're not cut out for the Corps. Become a poet, or a writer, but invest heavily in spell checking software.

I wish I could express my feelings and thoughts in written form. I can't write lyrics to save my life! I have to get all the emotion out in the music and let someone else try to get the feeling that I had and write similar lyrics...
