I think...

yeah, agreed.
and about the comments... though I don't like short comments like "that was really good" but I like to know who has read my poems. I'm just
interested to know.

yeah I agree.. I like it when I get comments.. even if its just the typical "Nice job" at least I know that, that person took time out of their day to read something I wrote... cause when you look at the number that doesnt necessairly mean the number of people who read your poem it just means that that number of people went to where your poem is.. for all you know they stopped reading after the first word.

I used to be like that...Even wrote more than 300 poems, but I lost my inspiration and now the poems just pop up, I dont think about what they should be about. They just pop and I write them.

It's inspiration, when the idea for the poem comes to you.

It is much better to write a poem with a subject that you have inspiration for rather then forcing a write. Most of the best poems are usually written when a poet receives inspiration and not forcing a write.

Comments are important as it allows the poet to learn what readers feel after reading his/her poem and constructive critique also helps the poet to avoid any pitfalls for future writes.

I also I agree 'bout the comments because I like reading poems and I leave comments on how good it was and so on! I believe that if people are gonna read the poem leave a comment, but not that short! Say what you thought about it like the feeling you got when you read it! Not just "That was a great poem" You get the point, right?

I can compeltely relate.

No. I'm much more different. I tend not to think about the poem. I know that sooner or later, it will come to me. And when it does, it's beautiful in its own way. I see writing poetry as a way of believing. Believing that there is something more to this world than just being able to work for life, earn money and have kids. All of that maybe necessary, but it's not what completes me. Knowing that you can succeed while having faith in things that may not have a chance is what gives me that 'inspiration' to wrte the way I do =D.
