Ramblings 529

 

Forget it.  I'm not

A writer - let alone

A poet!  Some think

When I say this, is

'Cause I'm being

Self-deprecating,

But that's not it. 

It's just a fact.

 

I don't know a thing

About writing...

It's done only

"By ear"; nothing

About knowledge

Being involved in

These lines I lay

Out on these pages.

 

So, to place me in

The same category

As those who know

What they're doing,

And have studied it

With a deep passion,

Just doesn't ring 

Anything right to me. 

 

That is all I mean.

Whether you claim the title of poet or not, I enjoy reading what you write! Your candour, your forthrightness, and your eagerness to explore things in language --- yes, you're one of us! Keep at it!

I think any writer vacillates between discouragement and the readiness to put words on paper anyway, in defiance of discouragement, because this is what we do!

So, whether you're a poet, a writer, someone who loves poetry, whichever phrasing strikes you as most applicable or most congenial, you are valued, cherished, and prized for your words!

The ear is most of poetry, and that and everything else about the art is subject to dispute, so you may call yourself a poet.

Neather am I much eather
Yet I write out what is in
On my mind
Yet both you and you & I
Are read all the same!
So we'r doing somert right
