Awesome.
Indeed, it’s that little angel/demon upon our shoulder, compelling us to write something, anything, to relieve the pressure of wanting to say something to the void. Life?Love?Pain?Loss? All of it.
Your write is terrific. I think we all write “for ourselves”. yet to have someone acknowledge our words does mean a lot. It makes us feel like it does matter, after all.-

Yep. That’s just the way it is. We create because that’s how we deal with the world.

Beautifully penned, Elke. Into the book it belongs! Clever write my friend, I dig this. Thank you! I’m not one for typical critique that’s for sure. But what I am is supportive to those in this community who share their craft to tell their story about their journey in this life. It’s not always easy to tell certain stories in my life, but sometimes it’s needed therapy. I try to look through that same lens when my fellow poets and poetesses share their stories. I want everyone to feel encouraged to write and to feel that someone out there is listening/reading their work. Most of all I want them to know that they’re never alone. Appreciate you, Elke.

That’s what I also do. I try to transform my personal experiences and my reflections on spirituality, philosophy, politics, love and several other areas of life into literature.
I’ve noticed that for many people it is easier to criticize than to offer praise and recognition. That is not only sad, it also contributes to keeping our whole planet on a lower level of energy. Every word we speak and even every thought we have influence the way the earth develops. The negative energy of envy, hatred or greed results in more acts of violence. People like you my friend, are healers of the whole system. It’s not only about important political decisions, most of all it’s about the little acts of loving kindness each and every one of us can perform to make this world a better place. Thank you I myself have a penchant for the dark, morbid, and sarcastic side of writing., dear Damien! May your attitude be contagious!

Is it worth it to try and publish a small book of my poems or should I just keep writing for me and this group? I hear its easy but also hard and that it costs a lot of money, which I’m not trying to spend.
