Great reason to write poetry - raising funds for those affected by violence. Since poetry is a great mediator and reason to write, that in itself should be commended.?

Thank you Taylor.

I feel that people who are more mentally and emotionally vulnerable get manipulated and pitted against friends, by un-true friends.

I also feel that being awake to manipulation can cause bad reactions on our part, but believe that truly over-coming it is to seize to give them the power any longer. Often, people who stir things and control things, feel at a loss when reactions are not gained.

Today writing this poem I decided I am not someones weapon, but I am my own. Though not all weapons require to be used, but to be disarmed.

Your profile "rant" is so encouraging to this newcomer! Would you believe I did a google search yesterday, "Are there rules to writing poetry?" I knew there weren't, but I guess there were still questions I couldn't really form. I think you cleared that up for me.

And you have succeeded already as to evoking my emotions with my first read of your work "Whispers." My x and I were both guilty on that front.

As it happens, MC, I went for a ten mile peddle on Sunday, two days after the broddling. No ill effects.
As for 'intelligentsia" - I'm sure it is self-evident as I hijack the anacreontic form substituting its trochaic feet with iambic ones.

If you want to be thought one of the intelligentsia, you
could always change the title to -
"An Enema of the Poop Hole".
A closing thought - you might be advised to lay off the
cycling for a while. The jury is still out about whether all
that saddle sitting is a contributory factor towards irritating the prostate.

Thanks, Taylor. I am right as ninepence; no discomfort at all. Even straight after the biopsy, I said to the nurse, “Most enjoyable”. I don’t think she’d ever heard that before.

I've written 1000's of poems, and only 250 of them are published. I know what it's like to have to throw away good work, or put it aside in favor of living life or trying harder at something I'm working on. Regardless, some great pieces you have on your profile.??
