That Satisfaction

I'm certain nobody here could claim your title of 'chief romantic' after that fine poem, friend :-)

thanks kelly it's hard writing personal stuff and getting responses cos there's a little bit of my soul in this kind of poem, it's not just a description of a scene but rather a way of coping with an emotion by writing it down

Isn't that how most poems are? A piece of ones soul, a way of coping with emotions by writing them down? By the way, nice poem!! Keep it up!!

thanks, yes and no some poems are less personal then others. I mean you ever read Standing on Westminster bridge or the White Cliffs of Dover they can never be as personal our revealing as something like Song (Christina Rosseti) or Howl by Allen Ginsberg.

If you go back through history and read some of the greatest poetry, it was written in the same spirit and premise of yours. Keep that stuff coming! I (and probably not just me here) love it!

thanks kelly much appreciatedm and I mean that you know I dug your other poem black diamond(s) I think it was called.

I have to feel the emotion of a poem to like a poem. I mean, anyone can write, but without the emotion it's pretty much dead, at least in my opinion.

i agree stand up... art's about expression
