I have a problem some people think, I my self don't seem to think there is anything wrong with it. Most of the poems I write, I usually write them in less than 15 minutes ,but I just started and when I get it in my head I have to write it down then, is this a problem and if so why , why do i get such a bad feeling about this. I have written about 10 that only took me 3 or 4 minutes, can someone please help me. |

Hi ,thanks for the comment,I don't know they all do very well. But a lot of people don't seem to think it's not possible to do this, like I said I'm very new to writing and I love it. And I hope to get to the point that I can write longer poems, but for now I have to stay with what I'm use to. Thanks again, makes me feel a little better. Tracy |

True , I go back and look over mine and I sometimes find I did something wrong in them. Bu t write what comes from the heart and not what I make up,all my writing is real and I want the readers to understand me and what I feel. That is the only way I can write .I want them to feel what I feel ,go where I have been and see me for who and what I am. |

Thanks, that really makes me feel a lot better. Up until a little over two weeks ago, I had never wrote a poem before and I really enjoy doing it ,takes a lot off my mind. And at the same time, lets the rest of the world know how I feel and think. Thanks a lot, your friend Tracy |

Very true, I put a lot of thought into each, especially the child abuse poems, because I really want the reader to feel what I when through ,so they know what it's like to be me and live it. The rest of the poems I come up with talking to my girlfriend, especially the love poems, just the things I say to her and there they are. She encouraged me to write so here I am, again many thanks, Tracy |

Thanks, I will, but just upsets me that someone comes in and votes a low vote and doesn't have the respect to say they like or dislike the poem. I find it hard to believe some people would go that low, if they don't like the poem just say sorry poem, try it again I can live with that, seeing that I'm just starting out. Ol well life goes on till next time. thanks everyone |

Very true but still, why do people have to be so cold. When we are all in this world together ,thought since we all been through so much already we could learn to love and respect each other a little better than we do. But I guess I was wrong, I won't lose my faith in people even tho I know some will never change. Take care , your friend Tracy |

Never let anyone bring me down again, been through way to much, just feel sorry for them. As for me, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. |

Thanks, I tried the long poem thing today and it's not doing as good as my short poems. Not saying it won't , but for now it's like a rock not moving. You right it can go both ways.........thanks |

I may do that later on down the road, but for now I want to keep my poems simple. Because for one I'm just starting out, only wrote 44 in my whole lifetime and the readers seem to love my style. That alone makes it all worth while to me. I like to throw in something to make them laugh every once in a while, a funny poem. |

Listen to the air. If you hear a poem write it down. If you write 1 or 100 that is ok. If you can feel the emotions when you touch the sky, write it down. A poem is the written words of the heart. It is not a race to see who can write more, just an ability to chanel what you see, hear, feel, know, into words that can sing into someone elses heart. You should feel blessed to be able to write on a whim. |

Everyone keeps telling me to write something long something interesting. But I'm a simple guy and thats my style I really don't want to change the way I write. I can write love poems,sad ones or I can do funny ones and I like that, so why change. It's like this if they don't like the ones I write they can always read someone else's poems no hard feelings. I put my feeling and my heart into what I write and for someone thats only been writing about a month now, I think I do real good. Tracy |

The amount of time needed to write a poem can depend a lot on what kind of poem you're going to make, I can't imagine someone writing a sonnet or a villanelle or whetever sort of poem that has a strict form , certainly not when a strict meter is needed, |

When I started writing, I usually wrote one poem in almost 2 minutes. I thought that I was a bad writer because of that. But, I've learned that if you take an hour on one poem, you're not going to express yourself the way you want. When I post a poem on here I don't have anything in mind. I just click submit poem, and just start writing. as in, i had no idea what i was going to write about. It comes to me fast, and that's when I tend to write better. |

Poems do not matter how long you write them for. i can say this because my most rated and commented poem on here was wrote in less than 10 minutes and its one of the best i have written. where as others i have only little rating for and i dont liek them and i spent hours on them. time doesntmatter its the quality xxx |
