Tell me if you like them or not I would really like to know

Mac, The two poems I read; Amrous and Just Because, both show that you have the talent to write. Both, in my view, seem well thought out as far as what you were trying to say. But the problem of spelling, grammar, fragmented thought patterns needs to be worked on. You said in your "sorry post" that these things don't matter that much to you and that you don't want to change your art. That's fine, you don't have to, but you'll find fewer readers wading through your poetry if they have to guess at what the words are. So take your time, read them back to yourself a few times before you post, and don't be in such a hurry. Please accept these comments in the spirit in which they are intended. jhs

I'm not somebody? If you saw my earlier post, I did say I read them and liked them, also I see you've been working on your spelling - keep up the good work. JP.

I feel like I am wading through your thoughts---to me the spelling issue is distracting to what you are trying to say--in my opinion-the purity of your words and expression has little to do with not taking care with the technicalities--I say use your spell check---care enough to articulate your piece. I have read your poems--and think you have talent--challenge yourself...the first step you have taken is using the dictionary---you are admitting to yourself that it matters--because it does....

and Mac---we all care that someone out there understands us and appreciates what we write---even your heading says it all---

I care enough to respond---lgreen

Hi Mac,

Honestly, I, too, have found it a bit challenging to stumble around and through some of your syntax. I used that last word intentionally to encourage the already mentioned suggestion of your imperative need to begin employing a dictionary. I promise, you'll come to see it as a wonderful, fantastic friend!

You are to be commended on your dogged determination and resolve to truly communicate your thoughts and ideas thru poetry. And some of them seem to be potentially profound, but until you can stop somewhat negating or detracting from them by the errors, you will never be able to effectively and fully share all of that emotion and mental stirrings bubbling within you to get out! So, please, use some of that same passion to share your words to also improve and "perfect" your delivery; and I'm quite sure you'll come to be amazed along with the rest of us at some of your future work!

Namaste,
Jazzy
