Negative positive both or neither All I can do is tell you what is true For me and we always see that either I am figured out or else seen as too Difficult and dense to bother about Writing about change and things which seem strange Unusual of that there is no doubt Perhaps I am too different for you
But I think not I think you just forgot What poetry can be when thought is free
I might have theories or suggestions But I have no answers only questions And if you want to hear I will be there And I will hear you too as everywhere I listen for the still small voice within Which whispers the truth beyond up and down Beyond any spin beyond smile and frown Beyond good and evil where dreams begin
Awesome Write Steve.... Float to YOur Own Boat, as the saying goes! What is written is important to many eyes! Good or Evil- another perpective to be inspired by. Thank you for this write from your heart... ~Plant a seed and watch it GROWwww~ WArmly,Sheee

Loved your upbeat, honest assesment about the writers and their writing today. I tend to disagree with you a tad, however, about the "Without any spin" context. Writers spin their own thoughts in everything they write, even poems about not spinning, it is still . . . spin. I personally don't find anything wring with spin. If we can't project how we feel (spin) why bother writing at all. Good poem, got me thinking.
