I'm sharin a chuckle over something meaningless because I'm bored

[simply__me]

My divorce attorney and I get along pretty good. She knows I dabble in poetry. Since I like to show off because people who do not know poetry think my stuff don't stink. I read a poem of mine to her and she cried.

I told her she was immediately fired! I cannot have one emotional basket case representing another emotional basket case.

FYI, I've been divorced some time now, but seems ya never quit paying.

Now this is funny (maybe not that funny), but it provides yet another reason why poetry thrills me. It's up there with song and art, catching that brief moment of emotion in a portrait or song of words. It not so much about how great you are at writing it, but that you express.

Poetry is my outlet for emotion. I get out my demons (and Gods) instead of numbing them with booze.

Trick is to get people to "feel" or "think" what you want them to. So as long as she wasn't crying over something that was supposed to be funny, you can't stink that bad.

Poetry is the exact opposite for me, I have to generate an "emotional place" and then I have to climb in it. I totally lost control in "Last year on earth" I saw 18,000 ghosts.

My gods and demons cheat at cards and steal money from me. BUT NEVER have they taken my cigarettes. Muse has one when we're done and sitting around boring each other with cliches.

I am figuring out that conveying a certain meaning while trying to have some symmetry in the poem, even if the symmetry is chaos, presents the test. People must get it, or be able to make it something you intended.

It would be interesting to hear from others what poetry does to them, or why they write poems. Well, at least interesting to me.
