You spoke for all of us true writers. We have to write even if we know no one will read. It is a sad and lonely existence at times, especially if we are too wrapped up in it to not let people we love and who love us inside our hearts. I made that mistake onec, never again.
As long as you keep writing, know that I'll keep reading, another incredible poem Karla, your artwork is stunning, thoroughly enjoyed this dear friend.
You better not stop......you are blasting thru with talent lately......and I know it will only get better.......even your art.......wow.........
love this.......pax A
Now you're talking like a poet! Karla most of us feel this way ,
and you put it into excellent words! Thank you! Write on,
you'll always have a voice!;-)
HEARING YOU LOUD AND CLEAR, KARLA!! You'll be writing from here into infinity and beyond BECAUSE THAT'S WHO YOU ARE - born to write! You have just premeditated my thoughts because I'm working up to a kind of "au revoir" (because of my college commitments! :((() with thoughts about the value and necessity of each of our own unique voices in this "poetic chorus" here at The Den. AND WE'D SURE MISS YOU IF YOU DIDN'T WRITE! So just you keep filling our hearts and minds with butterflies, bees, whatever, because we'd be the poorer without you - so says the mouthy little Brit who is just so grateful for the opportunity of your joint poetic friendships over the past few months... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, POET! lol kATE XX ps Love your new nom de plume - it really suits you!
As long as the Northern Lights and storms happen, you will write; they both give you briliant sources of imagination and incredible talent! May your pen always flow ink, and may your Muse always be amused by nature's spectacle! Wonderful write; well done! BRAVA!
