Do You Love to Write Poetry?

I love to write, it is like a diary of my life and how I am feeling, it lets me express how I feel and makes me feel better to have that area of expression!

I love creative writing, particularly writing poetry. Because poetry is so condensed, you get to the very kernal of truth in things (if you're writing the way I do - maximum editing after the words are down on the page). I've notice some people who write poetry claim they never do editing - Either they do a lot of thinking before they ever put pen to paper, or they're better than I am at the whole thing. Or, of course, maybe they're not after the very best words in the very best order possible. I don't like to read drivel spewed up and put out for the world to look at, where the writer hasn't had the decency or knowledge or self-respect perhaps, to give it their best shot at producing something worth reading for other people. I work hard at my poetry, I expect other people should do the same. you can read some of my poetry here: www.squidoo.com/dogswhogarden

Hi Elizabeth, that's a lovely poem. I really like it. I love writing. Mainly I stick with prose and short stories but I did write poetry for a while. My poems have very Christian themes as they reflect my beliefs.
