Don't Say It Out Loud.

[PrinceMyshkin]

Wow! I sure never thought a poem I write would lead to such discussion...lol
Anyways, I wanna clear something up, I write what sounds right to me...I don't know if this is right, but this is poetry to me. So if it's 'out loud', 'spears' or repeating and then finding out that removing the repitition sounds better, it's all about how I feel the poem that I wrote. If I don't feel anything when re-reading my poem, then I've done a lousy job.
I'm glad you guys seem to find it a good and interesting poem, and even worthy of such a great discussion...

I think you've got most of the right answer. If you didn't believe in it as you were writing it, what good would it have been to you? But surely it's not the whole answer. For instance, don't we all sound great when we sing in the shower? And there is justification enough in that we get pleasure out of doing it. But until we risk singing in front of one or more people, we don't really know if our singing is any good.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. That's exactly why I'm sharing my poems and short stories. I wanna know if they're any good. I'm singing out of the shower, so to speak
