There is a great rush present in your style.
The intensity is held throughout.
I enjoyed the thoughts flowing through this.

This is great!

Isn’t that what poets do? String words together usually about how they feel.

Who’s pipes have been clogged?

Literary pipes?

I wonder what a clogged literary pipe looks like?
Pulp and ink.
I enjoyed this.

It’s so unfortunate when some people choose to announce how little they are capable of understanding. It must be a sad little world they live in. I will join you in the never stop writing endeavor. Even if no one ever reads it, I’m gonna make it.

My poems are all screwed up if they were to be looked at as legitimate poems. I don’t know where to end lines, my cadence is probably wrong, I don’t know all the elements of writing poetry….but I write anyway. I think if anyone wants to write, they should write regardless of what another interprets in a negative manner. Poetry is subjective. 2 + 2 doesn’t always equal 4 in poetry. Keep writing/.

The poetry is always in the action of writing and the countless processes behind it. It often hurts; there’s lengthy periods of boredom and restlessness that comes with the territory. A poet’s life is not a painting, but a tapestry. Art is never a “finished product”. Sometimes it doesn’t look like progress, and some folks in our postmodern society just can’t comprehend that observation, so they attach these concepts of perceived “success” to the art itself, like if the art is “important” enough or getting the attention it deserves. Don’t be distracted by that nonsense, is my advice, and keep pen & paper handy.

I’m still editing poems from 10-15 years ago lol

The great poets of the past reflected the time in which they lived and probably wrote more for the rich than the illiterate masses.The language they used was generally not from or for the unwashed.
Willow,in my opinion, painters,poets and musicians do what they do because they have to.To let the universe know how they feel….which you do admirably.
I’ve read plenty of poems from the so called greats and found some of them to be utter dross but that’s only my opinion.
Art is subjective and critics are entitled to their opinions.
I’m sure I write too much and have written lots of unpoetic pieces but who cares.
Of course it’s nice to get acknowledgement but that’s not why we do it…..

🙏🙏🙏

I liked this piece by the way.

Tell that Fuck Bag that I’m watching his every move ..

Keep penning girl

BIG LIKE

Tremendous work. Keep writing.

Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Love the layers in this write my friend. I know you’ll never stop writing, you’re so passionate about your craft. Appreciate you.

Damian

sounds like he described a poet to me. excellent write.

Poetry is a form of art. Great art breaks the “rules”. Fly baby! Break all their rules of conformance! If you or I write the single word JUSTIFICATION, it is a poem! It has meaning. It may evoke different emotions in different people but it still comes from what the poet felt at the exact moment it was written! JUSTIFICATION!!!

I understand needing validation. I grimace when a post gets read 20 times or more with no comment.

Please don’t ever stop writing (I know you won’t) and sharing! I’ve also learned that sometimes people just don’t know what to say in the moment, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t touched, comforted, uplifted, or challenged by your words.
I also have to confess that when it comes to commenting on someone’s poetry, I often struggle with whether my comments are “good enough”. It shouldn’t be a competition… but posting comments can be just as scary as posting the poems themselves, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, who am I to lecture about this stuff when I haven’t been here in forever. Sorry. Just keep writing, and don’t ever doubt that it matters.

This was fire, friend. I always tell myself that doubt is the devil. Whenever I feel like I’m in over my head or failing.
