Stop dreaming you’re not a poet....what my friend told me

Contributed by Necromant on Tuesday, 13th January 2004 @ 06:00:01 PM in AEST
Topic: oops





I received a message from a friend today,
Ripping, stealing my happiness away,
Bringing an end to my illusionary world,
With only six simple never spoken words

Stop dreaming youre not a poet,
It was just a simple comment,
Striking me with the force of a thunder,
Why does it hurt so much? I wonder

I kept repeating those words again, again, again,
But the conclusions were always the same,
The truths devastating; I lived in a lie, an illusion,
Only six vice. words..delusion

I like that.....Hey don't listen to anyone who puts you down or tells you your writing isn't good.....Some people just don't have the depth to relate to emotions which go beyond the surface(it's like they just don't get it)......Your writing is good, keep going girl!

You are definitely a poet, well done. Don't listen to your friend she obviously hasn't got a clue. Us poets have a gift of putting our feelings into words to make people understand us better, you did that hope she reads it, tell her to have a go, you could teach her!

pffffff, only a crap! I donno what exactly makes you a poet...surely not only if you can rhyme and put words into strophes....but when your writings have a spirit, an idea that speaks to ppl who read it and if it touches them, then you are a poet ;) and that's what you do, even on this simple topic you've made it (y) :D
and, btw, who cares about how ppl call you? if you write coz you like it and someone else likes it as well (look at ppl here, they do!) then it's okay :))
anyways, honestly I think you are a poet :))

As others have said, what is a true poet? I have come to learn that no matter what anyone says I myself consider myself a poet even if others don't. Don't let anyone tell you any different. Follow your dreams no matter where they will take you.

Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but since you write poetry, doesn't that make you a poet? Your friend simply has no appreciation for the artform, and would never understand the emotion involved. Keep writing, I love your work. You are not only a poet, but a damn fine one at that.

Truly,
-V.S.

Don't give up. Keep on writing poems. I told you you are good at that. May be for her you are not a poet but that doesn't matter. What you feel you are matters.

your friend. :-)

I agree with Larry. Do I need to say more than what anyone else has? I think you can write with the best of us. I think I've told you you friggin' rock before. So tell your friend to turn it sideways and shove it way up!!!

You certainly ARE a poet . Your friend would probably never recognise a poem even if it poked him/her in the eye

Well, guess I'd better pipe up and agree with everyone else and say that you are SO definitely a poet, and quite a talented one at that . . . as you prove with this very poem. *glares daggers at friend who said you weren't a poet*

I know how you feel during an (infrequent!) drinking bout with a friend, i happened to mention i would like to make a living writing, this was met by a smirk and he said "that's ok but how are you going to pay the bills? this annoyed me so much that i have done everything since he said this (2 months ago) to get my work known, i'm looking forward to the day i get published(and paid) just to see his face! and that's motivation enough for me!
