  • Hi Kweisi,

    Thanks for sharing. It was very encouraging to hear you say that some of your poetry is left with a cliffhanger because you may not have experienced and dealt with the ending. I always feel like I "need" to have an ending but now I will write with the thought that may be I haven't experienced or dealt with the ending to be able to express it in my writing. Thank you.

  • I concur that poetry allows one to deal with a wide range of emotions.

  • I total agree with this information. Poetryan amazing way to express yourself and all of the emotions you go through which helps other connect with you in dealing with there own feelings.

  • I feel very much the same as you. I do not want to feel restricted with style. I it is such a beautiful thing, when one can express him/herself through poetry. When I write a poem, all of my emotion goes into that piece, i need that poem to have meaning. And sharing that with the world in my opinion, is priceless.
  • Thank you for a great listening tool!!
