cool idea!

Interesting

Damian was the one that stood out right away. Interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen a puzzle as a poem before.
Nice work.

Brilliantly penned, PAR. This is beautifully penned my friend. Amazing storytelling as always, great read. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Awesome. Not everything can be labelled poetry, as we all write our version of it. This definitely is poetry. It is full of great imagery for the reader to feast on. You write such strong, sturdy material. An educated writer through reading and being inspired, I percieve. You got it going on Paulo.

Your writings PAR always shine ever so bright! Perfect

Hey, I do not know who told you that, but they are wrong. Your writing is inspiring and emotional. If you like what you have written, then they have no right to tell you that your work is shit. WTF. I swear, when is everyone going to see that we are all individuals and we express our thoughts in our own way? I swear that comment just triggered some PTSD in me.
The absolute gall to say that. My god!
I normally reach out to people when I can, but this has been a very busy time. I will state this again: I embrace the individuality that is you and everyone. Let’s respect one another here. If not here, then you know you have a safe space here to write what you need.

By all means take a break but do so on your terms.When we put ourselves out there we risk the judgement of others.That should not stop you.
Didn’t stop Picasso or Dali or Neruda or countless others whose talent was rejected by the mainstream.

Take your time, Willow. Who ever told you that is a straight up liar and also knows nothing about writing my friend. You’re a powerful voice and writer and there are people here in this community that know. I know I’m not the only one that knows that here on Stars. Do what you gotta do, you and your voice will be missed my friend. Be safe and we await your return. Appreciate you.

Wrong move. Don’t back off now. Now is the time to push your stuff hard into this site

Your poetry is wonderful. Don’t let idiots bring you down. Everyone is so hateful these days. Some people don’t feel good unless they are bringing others down. Honestly when I get criticism it usually makes me want to write more. Poetry is a reflection to the soul. At least that’s how I feel about it. There’s no wrong way.

I do get it though. Writing is discouraging these days. It just doesn’t feel the same for me. Maybe because I miss my DUP friends. Maybe I just don’t have the time like before. You shouldn’t feel like your words don’t have meaning though. They do and they are good because they are your soul.

I will truly miss you. Don’t listen to the idiots.

I’m glad you are back

Hey there Willow, we write mostly for ourselves. We have a NEED to express in artistic ways how we see the world, each other, ourselves; to communicate!! This need is as natural and beautiful as Spring rain. And for those of us who love the rain, are not afraid of getting wet, who want to see and experience the world through others’ eyes, welcome your words and the music found in them.

To the person who said this to you I say: FUCK YOU! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ART IS, AND FOR. YOU ARE NOT ONLY AN ARROGANT ASS, BUT INHUMAN AS WELL.

Willow, I enjoy reading your words, listening to the words and music. In my opinion, you are an artist, have value as an artist and more importantly as a person, and, through your art contribute to what’s good in human beings. I hope you know this and internalize it.
