Poetry is ....

Even then... some have no mercy
Worse be that it ends up being a friend
Pretending not be too phased by it
Sit, sit read the hate poetry I wrote for you.

Not YOU but you know the general individual.

Cool write, neat image.

You gotta be brave to write poetry about be able to process it as a human who knows how to think ....
On the giving and receiving ends ...

Appreciate the read, comment about RL

THX LJ

Inspiration in all forms.  Speaking of I got a little this morning for this.  So thanks.

LJ

Always happy when that happens ..

Thx LJ ❤

Aw, love this.... poetry is a beautiful, delicate, messy love letter, just like this art. ❤

Someone made fun of my poetry in high school. It literally took me decades to start writing again. Decades! Thank goodness for this place and people like you in it. ❤❤

Yes and I do

Nicely put PoetSpeak.
Your painting,2 me. Depicts the multi faceted,honest,and fictional aspects of poetry. X

These thoughts come to me and I write them
I'm not usually prone to this kind of statement but today it was begging me to be explained.  
I appreciate the read and comment 6

Thx

Oh the nervousness I feel before pushing that button.
It just takes tough skin to put your love out there. (At least for me)
For everyone to read and relate.
Not always easy and it shouldn't be.
Otherwise everyone would be a poet or poetess:)

Nicely put amigo!!!

You are so right beautiful one ..
But the world needs those who can say it and that is our job as writers.  I know that feeling you're talking about, verbally and spoken.
Sitting on one's hands as it were or is.  Then blasting forth and hoping  to get some back ...

You're comments are astonishing ❤

Poet you officially get all the cool points with this submission.
From a scorched earth poet to love - your abstract art marries well to this philosophical gem
Burning down the house with a hunk of burning love reflections / poetry
Who is this guy???

LOL
BIG LIKE!!!

That's a question I ask myself most days
Who and why
This poem struck a chord and your wonderful comments keepsme writing

Thank you Sir Foot

Dear PS,

I’ve never been truer to myself than I have since becoming a member here and this poem sums that up so amazingly.
The afore comments have done a way better job at providing accolades for this write so I’m going to take the easy out and piggy back them.
The painting is also exceptional. It was, for me, representational of my inner thoughts and feelings. Intertwined, energetic, in constant motion. I liked the bold black lines- in your face and protective while the muted colors behind are safe and protected yet shine through. Lovely poem. H🌷

Dear H

I LOVE this BIG COMMENT
I think you've definitely grown in your time here at DUP.
You might have been a little shy going back to your beginning here but no more.  You speak your mind, eloquently and powerfully.  I can tell you from speaking to others on the site, when you've gotten an H comment, you've arrived...

So I appreciate this comment greatly.

Digital art or mixed media as it is know known has some merits, I can do things like this FAST, and they have merit.  The black lines to me are gatekeepers, keeping balance from going totally out of control.

I see you're like me, up at night when you should be sleeping.

Appreciate

Thanks
