I keep asking myself....why!!!
It's a good way of getting rid of you inner fears and emotions....just to spit it out and to read it out loud and to fool yourself with the reallity of it all!!

Well done, John.
I've been writing poetry for 30 years. I had wonderful teachers at the time that encouraged writing in any form.

Great write! It is true we write because we have to from inside.

Bravo! Most excellent write!!!We do it for ourselves first and hopefully in harmony with others who feel the same need to express themselves, and as we do we become enlightened by each other in many ways, hopefully growing through what we learn.

john,
that is why I do it. Not the money you hit that on the head. but for it is a release of the muse and the soul I heal from it and learn so much from others just like this wonderful poem.
Thankyou
