Your frustration of practicing an antiquated art form is felt by most people who write poems, right? This speaking from solitude, from a quiet place with tendrils of imagination out to everywhere and everyone else. After finishing a poem, you want more than anything for it to find readers, but so often there aren’t many readers (not counting us, who read verse compulsively) who like reading poems.

Maybe this tension, while immediately distressing, is good for your writing over time.

Amen to that last part. I wonder the same thing at times…about poetry and politics. But I keep participating in both. I can’t stop.

I hope you feel better soon. A chanage of climate might be just the thing 🙂 It’s nice out here in California-

Don’t ever stop writing poetry- you make the world a better place one poem at a time…
