The Trophy That Counts

Write for the pure joy of writing. Sing and dance your own word songs. It matters not,the applause you get..... If you really, really like your poems, it's like holding a beloved pet! Your gift is from God above. So coffee up,and settle down. Leave all vanity behind! And when the day's sun is at rest, God will give you His sparkling trophy, For you, doing your very poetic best! 4/9/2021 ~4~

I fully understand, having myself felt that same way many times. Just know that your poetry is real, is perfectly fine as you present it. It is you. Those that criticize most often do so with malice and a desire to limit the appeal of the the poet they target. Basic human nature at play. Dark, devious and selfish to the nth degree, imho. God bless..

Hello dear friend. Great to see you again. I have been sick and avoiding the minefields here')) destroying other poets in post, is not new here.Who wants to post a thing? One wants to cut off all comments. That's how I feel

If you write something you've already won, contests are secondary, they just give you inspiration sometimes. Tom

Thanks Tom. I see how to win trophies. Don't write poetry. Just comment a lot and then write a winner? This won't work for me. I have to make a choice. Either one or the other.....bummer. Between poor vision and one finger typing....a problem Add, being unabashedly Honest? I hang myself. ))) Pangie

Such is our lot. But a little validation is always nice. Have a great night my friend.

Hello again David, we are a special group! It takes some inner transformation to validate yourself. I looked at some of my early, old poetry that is quite good with no comments at all. I don't know why I kept going. You must comment a Lot to get others to read you. From what I hear, the attitude is. IF YOU DON'T READ ME, I DON'T READ.YOU. Iused th spend 13 hours a day commenting. My eyes can no longer take it. I used to be number 3 on the community board.Cannot do anymore! I don't like this limitation.did you come here for COMNENTS. Trophies OR to write poetry.i know you are a knockout poet All The Time...not to be a hit with a masterpiece and wow, people.yuk. Do you think the Bard needed the OK on each poem! I don't think so....just keep writing.. Pangie xxx I gave up on comments.....SOUPMAIL
