I’ve had books that I’ve had published

When beauty is in the eye of the beholder, bricks or roses, the writers have fulfilled a great purpose. R

Way to go cuz, I love your writing whether it be novel or poetry.
Love you Cuz.

Keep writing! Always keep writing!

Well U said it Fee, and I agree!
If PPL don't like what you write, that goes for all of us, My Stock answer has always been " you don't have to read it"
Onya Fee Take care..Keep romancing the stones, they might answer one day..

HELLO!!!! THIS WAS AWESOME FEE! Smack em on the left then smack em on the right! I hear ya talking. Sometimes you just gotta tell it like it is. Like I always say...if ya don't like what's on, exercise your AMERICAN rights, and turn the channel. We love your writing Mr. Fee! Thank you for fighting BACK!

Snap!! Well said! As singer Ricky Nelson aptly put it - "You can't please everyone, so you gotta please yourself."

all that matters is your own opinion of yourself...write on!

Amen!!! I always believe that we write what we feel inside, what comes from our hearts. Everyone has their own opinion, and in my opinion all the poems you pen are absolutely terrific!!!

Go for it and hang with it, Fee...I love every word.
xo Taylor

right on, Felix! a poet doesn't care what others think about his poems, he writes what's from within his heart and that's all that matters ...

Ah Fee!! I wouldn't have you any other way. Some men stick to romance, some to war or toys but a poet whi can do a little of all is better in my book. Keep on writing from your heart. Love and hugs,
Susan

You said it all Felix and I agree, I too write from my heart, no notes needed, and how can it be wrong if it comes from your heart. I love your words and have been enjoying them for some time. keep it honest and true and we will continue to enjoy it.
Thanks Felix, Love your Cuz, Rose XOXO

Let it flow Felix......share your heart and emotions....Some will dig it, others will not......The show still goes on......It's all about the art we create and the love we share.......

Peace,

Bill

... But I thought you LIKED my honesty, Pooh xoxoxoxox :)) Offence at the last line?? Back to your Dark Dream Lady, are we?! She weren't sappy she was pappy... and titillatin...

AND, HO HO HO!!! Just to make a point here, I mentally slipped in a BIG Freudian way to think I was reviewing ANDY.... Won't he just be the happy one!! :)))) LOLOLOL

Guess that means I have no cognitive recognition of what has been meant by the suggestion when it comes to your work, Darlin... and that's the honest truth... for what it's worth... Not HALF as much as your precious writing, Felix, so you just keep pumping it out in the very fine measures that your big heart dictates... Just love it! :)) Kate xx

I am glad that what you feel is what you write-that is what makes your writing appeal to me and makes it incredibly real-keep up the wonderful work

It is your right to write what ever you feel like Felix!!

Me not going to repeat the Fig-a-lo-comfort-word...but you can bet your money on it....i feel the same....write your heart out OKAY!!

Love Tinka

This is excellent
I love reading your words because
They come right from your heart
And that's the best poetry, the one that
touches the readers soul
and that is what your poetry accomplishes
And a dictionary can never accomplished
That!!
Excellent message Fee
Love And Peace
Take care your friend...Morning Star

Write on, right on, write on!

Thanks,
Dan

"Sappy and Trite"
Amen my brother...me too straight from my heart!
No need for books and might I add why should we have a dictionary at
our sides to read poetry~now that is trite...only one little ladies opinion...smile~you tickle me~I like what you write.

Fuzzies...from your friend,
Gwendolyn
From the Heart...only way to go (for me)

And so it should be, my sweet friend! I once wrote "let them read what they think, think what they like..." like it or not, I also wrote that I would go on... yes, writing what I feel. And so I did, and so I do! Joining you in a "middle finger up"...
With a wink ;0), lots of love, and a huge {{{{{{{{hug}}}}}}}}}

Amen! This is the way writers should feel, we write from our hearts not to satisfy critics.

You go, Felix! I write what I want to write, sing what I want to sing, never use notes when writing a book and rejoice like hell when it all comes together. I never plan to plan cause sure as shootin' that I do, something comes along and preempts me. Duh!

ROFL...well, you know what they say about "opinion." Like A-holes, everyone has one. You keep on being trite. It is damn fine poetry as far as this babe is concerned. Love it! And right on. Fuck 'em. ROFL

Elizabeth

YES!!!!!!!!! That is the spirit! No matter the number of reads, nor reviews good or bad, we write from our hearts and first and foremost for our own souls!

Fee:

"I just don’t give a fuck what others say" great sentiment!

"Composed songs that made folks cry" -- to elicit feelings, no greater gift. One man's (or woman's) sappy is another's soul.

"What I feel is what I’m going to write!" Can't think of anything else that I could write about.

I've had criticism too, but always with a positive turn. Can't say I like it, but sometimes it improves me. "Sappy and trite" has no positive turn.

My husband always gave me those romantic birthday and anniversay cards - I'd grin and say silly, but I never threw one away. Wouldn't I love one today.

Write on, dear Fee, but like your friend Karen Lynn says "Don't get your blood pressure up" -- you can't afford that.

hugs,
Kathy

Just think of sappy as the sweetness that abounds on maple trees and as far as trite words any poet who writes of love surely is guilty of those same pleasures. Consider the source, respect the writer, find the lesson. Write from your heart, write from your spirit, write from your soul and even when annoyed write from your mind. It needs to be heard also.

Fee,
KEEP WRITING as you feel in your heart. That is YOU. We all love you and your writings here in AD. I've always thought AD was like one big family, and I feel honored to be a part of it. I've been touched by many of your writings, my friend. You have amazing talent. Keep up the GOOD work!!!

Many blessings,
~Linda

(((Fee))),

Wasn't it you who told me to write wht I feel? Then do it. :) I don't think your romance is sappy OR trite. I wish I could write romance the way you do! Sigh...but the words just don't come. Please, if not for any one, for me? Keep writing your romance, I will fall even more in love with you and your poetry! 'Kay? Frustrations easily felt and read. Well penned.

(((((HUGS))))) and love, Karla.

"I just don't give a f*** what others say/
What I feel is what I'm going to write!"

You tell 'em, Fee! Good on ya! Rant on, I hear ya.

I happen to love how you write, you write movingly beautiful poetry that touches the soul. (At least mine, and others here, I'm sure.) Anyway, Fee, you felt you needed to rant; seems like quite a few of us have been doing this ourselves, me included. You write for you, and you keep on writing! As long as you write I will read! (And review! :) )

Emotions runnin' high here; a powerful poem you have penned this morning! (Just don't get your blood pressure up, okay? I'll try to keep my b/p under control, too. I can tell when it's up, don't need to get it all crazy now, do we, hmmmm??) Very well done; bravo, Fee!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Very good, my friend.
Critique with the intention of inspire and give a feedback is Ok.
A put-you-down-critique is a waste of time and paper.
You are my brother in letters, and for me you write just fine and I wouldn't change a iota.
But do me a favor, dont get inspired by a schmuck!!!
