the sifters discover
among other flaws
lack of imagery,
absence of flow,
and scatter of adjectives.

deciding my poems
are nothing but pebbles,
they confiscate
paper and pen;
send me packing underwater. :fish:

for the moment
i get by
using squid ink,
writing only
for myself.

though sometimes
i might imagine
seaweeds nod
approval -

or that a starfish
sees my work
worth publishing.

:bulletblue: do you worry that no one else appreciates your art? or that it might never mean anything to anyone else because it's poorly done?
:bulletblue: criticisms and certain structures could discourage anyone to write. pebbles are everywhere and so are poems. however, a writer goes on writing even when she's not sure why or for whom she's writing. it's bittersweet because she still expects some acknowledgement, a bit of recognition or a sign.
:bulletblue: the insecurities of being a writer...

:bulletblue: so, let's keep writing and dreaming, ok?
