inspiration, in my case, comes at all times of the day. i try to be unique in the way that i write things. if i want to say 'i love you' in something i write, i'll work my way around using the phrase. i often record myself saying things i think of. it's easier for me that way, rather than trying to write it down while driving : )

Well, it sure costs less than venting to a shrink... I actually find it therapuetic. Most of my writing experience has been related to either love or pain. As I continue to sharpen my skill, I find myself releasing thoughts beyond those comfort levels, such as seasonal interests, dessert, volunteering, etc.. I find much pleasure,using this gift through emotions on paper, as a healthy and creative approach with recording thoughts/experiences/imagination. Of course it's those late night hours, when my mind insists working over time. O.K. time to put in the wake up call...

writing is my life!
it has been apart of my life since i was young. My father wrote and loved poetry and i feel like it's my spiritual connection to him since he passed. later in my life poetry became a way of speaking i suppose. i wrote poems about everything i saw around me and things i liked. as i grew older poetry became a true outlet and way to express my mind. i never really felt like i connected with anyone in a way that they understood me completely so poetry was a way for the everyone to see the world threw my eye for once. feel things from my standd point. Im very happy i found this web site. i never had an official place to put my poems so the world never saw most of them but now
i get to share my world ^_^*
~ poetry is a gift never to be mocked and to be always given high rank in importance*
there's talking
there's body lang.
and there's poetry, the other form of communication

i write because i get the things i need to get out of my head on paper and i feel better. Alot of things in my life makes me cry and thats when i make really good poems. i may sound like i'm a depressed person from my poems but really it's just at the moment feelings. i'm accually a pretty happy person but the things that go wrong in my life inspire my writing.

Writing is the only way I know to express completely who I am anywhere, anytime.
I've never been a good artist, and singing is only apropriate in some times and places. And while I do find joy in acting, on stage I'm not myself, I'm a character. That's what I like most about writing. I don't have to be a character. I can just be me and that's all I need.

no one listens
no one cares
no one will hear me
no one shares
the pressure is building
the pressure is there
theres no release valve
i'll never again dare
now i can see
the pressure is down
the stress is released
and my life is found
i hear things drifferently
i see the worlds colors
everythings a mystery
and its all mine to understand
i write because i have to
i write because i can
i write because it feels good
and it saved life of this man
thiis is why i get angry when people think poetry is just poetry. No one understands ow important poetry is to my life.

What a perfect way to express oneself thru poetry, all those thoughts swirling and unfurling, it's an artform of expression that is most enjoyable.........

I write for so many reasons. It is a powerful medicine for the soul... not just mine, but for the people who read it, and identify with it. I began writing as a child because it was the only way to wake up from the nightmare that was my life. It was my only escape, until I found drugs as a very young teenager. Even then, I needed to write to escape the brand new hell I was creating for myself. I wrote about the things that brought me to addiction, and then I began to use my writing to pull me out of those addictions... and finally now I write to understand myself, and the things that helped me choose the paths that I followed. There is no drug on earth that can inspire the emotions that the written word can. There is no better high, no better escape, no better release than bleeding your soul out onto a piece of paper.
I write to live, to breathe, to love, and to share. Thanks to all of you guys for sharing too!!!

Because I cannot not write.
To shun the pen is like holding my breath.
