Because You're Good

... the only poem that isn't good
hasn't been written, or even
read.  Who gives a damn if it
doesn't follow rules penned
by dead men.  Just write,

because you can (and very
well, too, I might add).  You
have this way with words that
does something to me, touches
heart and soul.  Why I read you.

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (7/12)

Right on, Karla... I've just removed a referred-to poem from JF's page but I think the words of my beloved Dylan Thomas would echo your own sentiments here, in his much-loved and oft-cited poem, "In My Craft Or Sullen Art"... Great minds, eh?! xx

I especially like this poem because I just posted one that I left a comment about, saying it hardly seems like poetry...

You're right, too. What difference does it make when we're merely sharing thoughts and feelings - that possibly "touches heart and soul" of one of our readers.

You have so much love and respect for your fellow authors. We should all pat each other on the back as you have. God Bless you, my friend.

A good writer writes what they feel in their heart and soul no matter how as you do so well. Why we read you!

Be always safe,

Excellent! Bravissimo! I'm in the process of picking out which of my poems to include in my first book. Few, if any, would pass muster with an English professor but they seem to strike chords with my readers and that's what's really important, right? Rebecca

I agree 100% Karla. It's what we want to share, our thoughts, our love, our sorrow, romance etc. You nailed this one.

Newfie Hugs are on the way, Rose

Just exactly the reason I read you as well...( and the fact of that rather large opening under your nose when you are laughing, lol, Ed)

Couldn't agree with you more...poetry is an expression of our thoughts in word...they do not have to be in a set format.
