loving poetry

do you love that you write. does it make you happy?

Yes... And yes it makes me happy... I feel its a perfect way to let out your emotions... If your someone who has a problem with saying how you feel try to write a poem in the end it all comes out...

My favorite response to this question is:
Because I cannot NOT write.
Writing has always been a form of self therapy, an expression of emotions too intense to keep inside, an expression of thoughts, feelings, meanings. Sometimes it is simply purging-a cleansing, sometimes I learn something about myself or others or life in general. Sometimes it is merely the noble expression of art. Also for the fun and freedom of it. Mainly it is something that is mine, something I love passionately.. A release, a therapy, passion, a peace, an understanding, a communication with myself and/or others.
I look back over my poems and am reminded of things I'd learned but forgotten, how I felt at certain times, etc.
Sometimes I can see who I was then, who I am now, and perhaps a hint of where I'm going.
And though I write mainly for myself (it's helped keep my sanity many times, lol) and always have (though some pieces are distinctly for others-and I have found sometimes the more personal you are sometimes the more universal the piece is striking a chord in others). It is a great writer, and sometimes the goal of the writer, to touch the hearts and minds of others.
There are many reasons. As you write, and each piece, sometimes the reasons and the poems change over time. Sometimes not. Poetry,art, music are expression (and release) for those of us who feel life too intensely to live it.

Peace, Poetry & Power!

Writing is the highlight of my day and also my release. It allows me to get my memories or thoughts on my mind out onto paper in a beautiful form, so then when I re-read them i can see how I handled that situation and just remeber what has happened in my life. So what I am saying is I love writing poetry! <3Love and Trust<3

I love writing poetry! i love the feeling i get after finishing a piece, it's amazing! i don't know where i would be if i didn't have my poetry...

I do like writing but sometimes i look back and get sad i had to experience what i wrote but then its part of life and i am glad i managed to write my feelings down

I love writing poetry. It's a good way to relieve the stress you have bottled up. You can get your feelings out without needing a reason to feel how you feel.

Bob - why do you hate poetry so much? Just wondering what makes you think like that.

Hey what are you doing in here!! :) haha

Well - even with someone that is sarcastic and witty - if they make a comment like that, I like to know what got them to that conclusion. Its interesting to understand how people think... I prefer to know how someone got to a point than hear about the final desination... know what I mean?

Yeah..i write because i love writing and it makes me proud..to show that i can do

Meh, either way

I like the poems that i write, only i think they suck a lot of times too, but i think a lot of people get the same feeling...

I find writing poetry gives me a very satisfied feeling.

I love writing poetry. I think I'd have gone crazy if I hadn't "discovered" writing.

I also like writing poetry, even if i'm not good it nice to write what you feel.

It makes me happy that i write

Sometimes it does make me happy, other times it doesn't. It all depends on what I write and what everyone thinks of it.

Ofcourse i love the fact that i write. why else would i do it?..
it makes me happy to some extent..especially when i'm upset i love the fact that instead of doing something stupid i can just sit and concentrate on putting all of my feelings into a poem (a safe and healthy release of emotions).
i love reading a poem over the next morning..once i am calmed down..and have it insipe me all over again.
yes, yes, yes I LOVE to write!
