Without love, and its many mysterious interpretations, there is no poetry. Love is poetry's core element. And a poet is addicted to love: may it be people love, love of nature, science, etc.. Passion, equals Poet. To Definitively define love is folly, for there are libraries full of such feeble attempts -- Why I write more about poetry's driving forces, refraining from any precise clinical referendums.

Contests exist to assist us towards self-validation. When AI, as algorithm, is involved in contests they become highly suspect in such assistance. All involved in keeping a system of Contest placement in place using artificial intelligence are involved in fallacy & cannot call themselves poets. Poets, like other artists, are to advance authenticity & consciousness, not impede it. Competitive life as part of Dark Ages will therefore be maintained holding humanity back.

"You can't please everyone, and that's okay. Some people will dislike you due to differences in values, worldviews, and experiences. Instead of trying to control others' opinions, focus on being true to yourself. Reflect on feedback mindfully, and use it as an opportunity to grow, but don't take every criticism personally. By accepting that some things are beyond your control, you'll find peace and confidence in being yourself."

Contests are contests against another version of yourself as what seems to be another, is merely another reflection of Self since all selves are separates constituting One Whole. The Whole becomes more and more harmonious as we dish shadowed portions out of the subconscious into the light to be integrated.

It emphasizes the feeling of belonging and being welcomed as a key aspect of what makes a place feel like home, beyond just a physical location.

Your Divine Spirit is an open book of spontaneous reference. I have met people who seldom read the bible...yet, most every word they speak and action they take, is Biblically correct. Am I saying, no need to read the bible? Absolutely not -- if a sense of emptiness, loneliness, dissatisfied existence, read, devour, savor! With ultimate goal of becoming....

AI should not be allowed on creative writing sites. When identified use, the writer should be banned, in an effort to keep the integrity of honest poetry free from artificial stink. AI will soon write a new interpretation of the bible I am certain. A logical interpretation, but void of spiritual essence. AI is not a tool, like an encyclopedia or text book with valuable examples of meaningful reference, it is a soulless entity that will lead to ever greater intellectual and moral depravity.

Yep, the night out, is not always the same as morning reflection -- which do we treasure more? A warped fondness for even many of my mistakes -- I say, show mercy to one's own heart.

All poetry is an expression of what the soul is undergoing. It takes courage for ego 2 step aside & let soul present itself. This is what poets do when they step forward to present their poetry to the world. They are not only speaking for themselves. They are speaking their truths, reflecting truths of many others experiencing the same soul development phenomenon on a planet rapidly transitioning from old paradigms into paradigms which Heart represents.

What souls currently embodied in NorthAmerica need 2 understand is that governments of that area have been responsible for much pain that Mother Earth has experienced & is continuing 2 experience. Humans carry effects of governments where they are, so these souls need to be at forefront of healing the mess. This requires human 2 human interaction at Heart level, often on a one to one basis. Vigilance must be exercised 2 interact with members from other countries.

The Absolute Truth is that the I is perfect and complete. The real I is spiritual & therefore can never be less than perfect. The real I can never have any lack, limitations or disease. These phenomenon are held by the ego, the linear self.

As bad as it is, it is better for the growing awareness. Maybe from the awakening, the pen mightier than the sword, us priests of poetry, the rarefied hearts of humanity, can make a positive contribution.

Refuse to lose.

Compassion and compliment dumping is your own personal preference; many enjoy comraderie and friendly reinforcement; I think differently, I admit.

No institution can exist that purportedly upholds the rule of law by breaking it. No institution that has become the prime offender of citizens rights can claim to protect them. Experience has shown that governments are not immune to corruption and therefore are bound by necessity, when required, to reformation. Prudence dictates corruption abrogates the ability for self correction and so remedy must be accomplished through external means.

I've never blocked anyone, that is not my way, for the things we say are a reflection of ourselves, so I let them ramble away.

Your sight is a reflection of your conscious mind, and your strength is a reflection of your self-awareness.

Generally, 'genius' is now a word people use when they prefer a pleasant befuddlement to the effort of understanding how something was done. It is a polite means to justify mediocrity.

Poetry expresses feelings that are common in humanity, allowing us to unite in understanding, empathy, and solidarity. Good poetry also challenges us to be our best selves; a resurrection of the spirit, a refinement of the soul.
