Effects
I do not write for affect
but rather for effects
to instill a thought
or elicit a feeling
which brings forth
a response
from the mind or heart
and enriches the soul.
For if not, I would just as soon not write at all.
All writing remains the property of the author. Don't use it for any purpose without their permission.

Whispering Souls, that's a nice poem title. I'll bet you could do that some justice. Thanks for the visit and insightful comment.

Thank you Purpleheart for the visit and comment. Since I was not familiar with you work, I went and read but a few and be assured you are most certainly a poetess. Keep the ink flowing.
Re: Re. Effects
Thank you very much for your kind comment. I am new to writing and always looking for inspiration. I appreciate you saying I am a poetess as I do not find it easy. There are some great poet/poetess on here of which you are one. Thanks again. Happy writing.

a very nice well-written poem which, for me, had a dual effect - a smile, and then a deep semantic contemplation... thanks!

I am pleased you captured the message within the poem. Funny the English language, the choice of one letter over another, can change the entire meaning conveyed. Thank you for the visit and wise comment.

Nicely written. Why we write is a critical question. It certainly helps release our pent-up feelings

It does indeed. The need to express oneself I believe is universal the world over. That some are capable to doing so in non-violent ways be it writing, other art forms, a peaceful demonstration or simply treating others with dignity, shows the true being of the human within. Thank you for the visit and comment. It is greatly appreciated.

As I've always maintained, we underestimate the educational power of poetry.
For someone like me, who wasn't the smartest kid in the class, this poem explains the difference between 'affect' and 'effect'better than any text book.
Now, if only someone would write a poem defining the differences of, who's, whom and whose.

One should find much wisdom within your first line, and much comfort within the two next.
To realize and accept we are not the brightest bulb, is the beginning of a venture which should be treasured, my friend. And if, during these ventures, we encounter those who think they are the brightest, we will be sure to check their boots for puddles of urine.
Ask and ye may receive, seek not, and one may never know.
Thank you, dear poet.
