I really need advice on what to do!

hey poets and other people,

can you truly write excellent poetry without having any hardships in your life?

what are you talking about?

Of course you can. All life is not negative. Beautiful poetry comes from beautiful insight and experiences.

you can definetly truly write excellent poetry without having any hardships in your life...you can write about positive things and your poem might sound amazing...just keep writing excellent poetry whether you have hardships in your life or not

Of course you can. I don't tthink i've been through too many hardships at all and my poetry still rocks : ) lol. ok, it rocks for ME, but isn't that what poetry's about?? writng soemthing that means something to you??

besides, there's always happy poetry. love poetry. friendship poetry. If you have no hardships then surely you must have all of them. coz if you didnt you could write an amazing poem about being alone or feeling unloved or soemthing. yeah, You can write a perfect poem no matter what you've encountered.

Sometimes less hardship amkes it better cozyou're not so choked up and you're more two-sided as opposed to "OMG! I HATE HIM" or "i feel like dying please kill me".... see?

until we meet again....

i definately think! Not all fabulous poems are morbid, sad, angry, and any other negative feelings. Poetry can be about love, lust, friendship, the beauty in the world, or even somthing completely insignifigant such as a grain of grass! Poetry has no rules and can be anything you want it to be.

Corse you can, you can even write depressing poetry if you have enough imagination. I don't think poetry is restricted by your actual life, If you have enough imagination to think like a depressed person, or a lovestruck person, or a heartbroken person, then you can write their feelings.

Who said that a poem is developed when a poet suffers hardships or experiences crisis in his life? A poem can also be created when we are happy. A poem is the best way to portray our emotions. The moral of the story is one does not need to go through hardships to write a poem.

may i ask what makes you say that.poems are created from emotions and thoughts that are in your mind,which you choose to freely write down on a piece of paper

you definatly can some of the best poets out there write about all the beauty in the world instead of the sadness and its just the way that you say and express things that make you a poet not what the poem is necessairly about

definetely....all you have to do is think of some random thing, and write a poem about it. it could turn up good or bad. nothing really exciting has happened to me, but i just write a story about other people in my poems. it's kinda fun, actually.

Duh! People write poetry about all sorts of stuff. I wrote a really funny poem for my brothers Bar Mitzvah. People don't just write to cope with the bad stuff in their lives.
