A writer, a poet, must take risks or they don't grow and their writing doesn't evolve and challenge the hearts and minds of readers. I enjoy reading your work, dear Felix!

A POET GRIEVES has beautiful grace and cadence and speaks a message all poets will understand.

Excellent poem, Felix. I believe honesty is the most important thing we can give to others, as well as the greatest gift we give ourselves. As long as we are honest, whether or not others like our truth doesn't matter.

I agree with Sherry. I, too, write from my heart. Whether or not it is agreed upon it does not bother me, as I am always true to my own feelings and expression.

I think we, the poets, do tend to speak from our mind and heart, and when that happens our expressions are genuine, we are also highly empathetic, so we are capable of feeling other people's pain and misery, thus in many instances we write to comfort the others.

A wonderful write, Felix!

I appologise for nothing that I write, for I write from my heart. If some disagree, that is good for it means that mankind has not shrunken to the mentality of cows, all following after the jingling of the lead bell. We are each unique and that makes for a difference of opinion sometimes. With age and time we learn flexibility and realize that different isn't the same as wrong. Wonderful write, Felix!!
Take care,
Sherry
