Dedication To All My Poetry Friends

~Dedication To All My Poetry Friends~ My head is spinning my ears are ringing my system is living my singing don't know why I felt like writing with no books just words to explain my remarkable intentions after meeting all of you through our poetry. Although I had average education, that is why when I write poetry I have only one way of sharing my feelings, and it is the simplest way, the way I talk casually and I try to be proud of myself, especially when I read poems written by all of you, such deep words, such smooth lines, quality, beautiful, rhyming, your writings are pieces of rare art, and I am flattered and honored to have had the opportunity to be accepted by all of you. I had low esteem of myself for not ever trying to force my dad to allow me to continue my studies well now its too late, but I can write with pride as I am self educated to write poetry between thousands of very highly intellectual colleagues. When I am with everyone of you, I am so impressed by your writing skills nothing seems impossible our discussions through writing and reading changed the course of my dreams and added hope for another tomorrow. When I am with all of you, I feel so fortunate to have met everyone of you through sharing our poetry and comments I will look forward for deeper friendships. When I am reading your poems it awakens in me a stronger intellectual consciousness. Thank you for allowing me to have a new life, with immense happiness. Terry 5/4/2013

This write comes from your heart Terry and that is what a poet does is write from the heart and make people feel. We all have self doubt about our writings and if we are good enough. We learn as we go along and so what if it takes a lifetime to learn. So glad you are here. love phyl Weather--it was snowing yesterday and is -14C this morning with slippery roads. Seems no end to winter.

This was such a heartfelt and beautiful write. I too am learning so much here on the soup...It is a learning experience for all of us. For me...the most important part of being a writer is to make the reader see your soul...you do that SO well, my dear. That is the magic ingredient that you have! Nothing compares to that. Thanks for sharing your heart. Sending hugs your way.

Dear Lady: Half of poetry is the reader and when we relate our eperiences to what another thoughtful poet writes we feel completed. There is nothing to do but to keep reading and trying as I didn't have a literary background either...mine was all biology and chemistry but inside I loved nature and philosophy so start now...it is never too late. Thanks for stopping by and reading my poem today. and keep on smiling...you are a special soul, Love, SuZ

Terry, I'm glad I saw this today. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. There is only one of you! There's no one like Terry...you're unique in the way you were made and you should be proud no matter what! No one is better than you as we all lack some knowledge. So be proud of your writing and of yourself. Love, Annalise

This is really touching, tender, and right from the heart, and that's right where it hit me. I teared up a little reading it. You have a gentle, caring soul, I can tell from your writing.

Oh dear dear Terry! It is we who are the enlightened by your so called "simple" poetry. I am certainly one who can identify with what you are saying because that's how I write. Certainly no need for apologies!!! Big hugs, dear Terry... love Jack xox

Terry; a lot of people didn't have the opportunity to get an education, including myself. i went back to school after 30 years to finish my High School. I took a lot of courses. but all I ever accomplish was to be an electronic Technician. Don't feel bad. You are a wonderful Lady. I know that I'm not that good of a writer but I enjoy writing and some people like it, so here I am. I already posted Part II. Smile - we love you Your friend... Lucy

This is wonderful, you should be proud of yourself. Like you I have no formal training in writing. I left home at an early age and started working. Here I am now at 51 and I am just about finished my first book so if I can do it anyone can. Thanks for asking earlier if my poem was about me. The answer is no it was written about my friends 15 year old grandson who passed away recently. Keep on writing. Take care, Rick
