Over The Years
Over the past four years
I've seen poets come and go
many dear friends
I've witnessed some evolve
into poetic genius
leaving me with stars in my eyes
seeing love blossom that you usually
only hear of in romance novels
warming my heart
I feel like I've stagnated
no one to blame but me
for the choices I've made
hoping to one day write again
something of substance and meaning
maybe the wheels of my mind will turn
my fortune reversed
I love the people here
though I confess
I wish I'd matured with them

Redemption is always around the corner. It's like meeting the love of your life squeezing avocados in the market looking for a ripe one.
Hope is eternal ...

Poignant and stirring, Brenda.
Our lives are the product of our choices.
Choose the wheels to turn, and so they shall. :)

Crim, you really know how to break a heart; the poetry you write affects us very much.
it goes w/o saying that all of us love you too.
well, hell, I said it anyway!...

Your modesty and self-awareness are evidence of a mature poet, one honest enough to put her perceived faults into her lines and catch up with peers from over the years. Deserving of respect, Crim.

I don't think you're stagnant.. we all go through writers block, and self-doubt.. but the writer in us, will always resurface.. i've called it a blessing, and a curse.. in the sense i'm extremely high when i'm creating.. but life just seems to suck when i can't.. but we've all been there.. and i've learned over the years, that we are own worst critics on what we believe is good, or how much we've grown.. believe me, a few months ago, i was about to quit.. i didn't think i had the chops, to ever be any good.. i joined this site, and at first i thought, what the hell am i doing here.. there are so many poets far better than i.. but slowly the comments i was getting, made me feel like maybe i'm better than i think i am.. still not positive on that one, but i keep writing.. because i love it.. plain and simple.. don't know if this helps.. but i think this was a great write.. thanks for sharing.. much respect..

I don't think your poetry has stagnated. Even if it has, I say this poem is proof that you still have it in you and you are on an up-swing.
Your writing is always beautiful, whether it is dark, sensual, or otherwise. You have me as a fan!
I look forward to reading you more! Chin up!

Great poem - You have nailed the incredible sense of community that exists amongst those who frequent (and infrequent) here.
In the 3 short weeks I have engaged with the amazing people on this site - I have marveled at the talent lurking in these web-pages.
As you have published quite a few poems on here since writing this, I hope that in reflection this was a brief spate of writers block, as you have nothing to fear regarding your 'maturity' as a poet.
For what the above words are worth coming from a n00b like me.

I spend a lot of time during my downtime at work hitting Random...so I realize this is an old post and I've come to it rather late. But having just said that, in all the Random pops of your writing that I've encountered thus far, and everything you've posted since I've come across you, I have yet to read anything that even hinted at stagnant. You, my beautiful soul, are alive and very expressive. :)
