Do you love WRITING POEMS?

I really have this passion in writing. When I get bored, I write. When I feel sad, I write. When I'm happy, I write. I write about anything under the sun, anything I feel. I love writing poems... Here's my poem: WHY Why do people hurt you? why do they lie? Why do they say you have no right? When they let you into their life. Why do people love? Why do they leave? Why do they become sad? When you want them to be happy with you all their life. Why do they let you love them? Why do they let them love you too? Why do they leave you? When you don't want to leave them too. Why do people get hurt? Why do they feel the pain? Why do they fool you? When they are supposed to be loving you. Why do they make you cry? Why do they take you for granted? Why do they say goodbye? When you don't have the reasons why. Why do they continue to love? Why do they love to love? Why do they long to be loved? When you're loving them too much. Do you love writing poems like me? Have you written a poem? For whom?

I have written a poem once, and it was when I have 15 years old for some girl that I use to like.. My poem really work that time, because I had written honest words to that girl.. after that, nothing more I have done..

Poems are really effective when it comes to expressing emotions. Why haven't you write again?

Your brave enough to say what you feel to a girl huh? Good for you! I suggest you still write a poem because girls really overwhelmed when a person make a poem just for them. =)

I haven't write any poem since then because I think that in that time I was more shy and can't even talk to that girl.. so, now that I can speak to a girl directly to the face, I think that poems are unnecessary for what my needs are.. that's my opinion...

hello angiemabute, yup! i do love to write poems it is one of my passion and one of my ways to ease my feelings and give me peace of mind most of the time. i think i found out that i am quite a writer when i was 14 years old and i have my 2nd poem published in a magazine. i had 2 poems that made it and i have bunch of them. one of my prof even ask me if i can write one for him so he can use it as their band's song. i think i have more than 500 poems since then and it sure makes me happy coz it is satisfying in my part. i have some poems written in a website and got a good reviews about it. i dont write to impress someone, i write it coz it helps me let go of what i am feeling. it is like a world that only i can go and that to me is something. anyway, keep up your passion on it. who knows maybe some day you will end up having a book that is a compilation of your poems. good night!

thanks for the response, im sure one of these days your wish will come true just keep that as a goal and then do something about it (i said that coz often some people likes to dream and set some goals but in reality they are not doing anything about it to make it happen. i dont think 500 is a lot yet so i am still working out to write some more whenever i feel like it. anyway, keep it up and i wish you all the best. good night!

I hope so... I don't think I will be able to pursue it now because I've been busy at work and other things, and I'm planning to study again. This time, I'd like to study law. Keep making poems! Thanks!

I do enjoy writing poems. The only time I would write a poem is when I have problems dealing with life issues. There are times I would put off writing a poem. Whenever I feel like I am being tortured by an incident, I would come across picking up a pen and paper and write my feelings in rhyme or not.

I also write poems when I have problems. That's the time that I get interested writing especially if the emotion is intense caused by life issues.

That's one special skill. Not all people have the passion, eagerness and patience in writing poems. I also wrote poems when I was a child. =)

You are right, I do not share a lot of things that I write, If I did it will be with one person only. I am not sure what other person might want to see my poetry tho :)

Thanks! =) Maybe because poems reflects its writer and you're afraid that others will be able to know what you feel. You can make it personal but there's nothing wrong if you share it because others might like it.

I love to write! It seems you love it as well, you have the passion and your poem is good. It seems the word "Why" is a very popular title eh? I have a poem with that title as well. Actually I've written so many poems and short stories as well, some of which I published on my blog: http://maplekisses.tabulas.com, do pay a visit if you have time :) Since you shared your "Why" I guess I'll be sharing mine too (*wink)... It's kinda sad but hope you like it: Why? Why do you cast those angry eyes on me? Why do you hurt me and then abandon me? Am I a pest that annoys your very core? Am I a shadow that you loathe and abhor? Why do you want to turn your back on me? Why do you want to see the pain in me? Am I not your own blood, your own flesh and soul? Am I meant to get lost when I took the sudden fall? Why do you make me feel that you don’t care at all? Why do you make me see that you’re building a wall? Does it please you to see me ruin my worthless life? Does it delight you to see me ran over by strife? Why isn’t it enough that my body aches like hell? Why do you have to see that I bruise my heart as well? Can’t you see my tears when I cry with the rain? Can’t you see that I’m dying and shivering with pain?

Same here! Writing is really my passion. What a nice poem! You're right, Why is widely used as title because people keeps asking why this happens, why that happens, why things happen. Thanks for sharing your poem! Keep up the good work! =)

I also like reading poems. If I like it, I really give compliment to the writer as a sign of my appreciation. I put myself in the writer's situation to feel what the writer feel when he/she write it.

A teacher in high school once said that I got the "power of the pen". That was long ago when i still join and win contests. I was even "Journalist of the Year" in grade school. But just this year, I shared one of my works at emanilapoetry.com, and got some not so good critics. Somehow, it was so arrogant of me to still think Im good at what I do -- not anymore. I still write sometimes, but i cannot come with a winning piece anymore. Used to believe that "If words are my means to capture the world the same are my tools to lacerate the soul". Maybe my muse would meet me again anytime soon.. and maybe by then, ive already shrugged the melancholy off my shoulders.

Don't be affected with what others say on your work. People have different opinions in different things. Others might like it, others may not like it at all. It seems that you are really affected on it that you are feeling that way now. You just have to continue writing without considering if they will like it or not. It's a talent that you have to appreciate yourself for others to appreciate you too.

Yes, when I was young I loved to write poems, but my problem was that I could not express my views in the form of poem, so I switched to prose so that I could freely express my opinion. To write poem you need talent, which all people do not possess. That is called poetic heart. All people do not possess them. So, I am not sure that several peopel can write poems although many people want to write them. Nevertheless, I sometime express my thoughts in the form of small poems and not long poems.

When I was young, I wrote poems for my mother. I also write prose. I can say that I am able to express what I feel in both. I have a poetic heart. It doesn't matter if you write short poems as long as you write what you feel and what others feel towards you.

i like ur ur poem very much..... its so mysterious........ i like to read poems but i dont like to write poems.........
• Philippines

Thank you! Actually, my friends were curious on what causes me to write that kind of poem. I told them that anyone can really relate to it because it's about me feeling the pain in loving a person, may it be friends, a special someone, even my family. Since others don't like writing poems, they just appreciate poems made by others.

I write poems all the times. I have 8 self-published chap books. I've written poems about various people in my life- my mom, my ex, various assistants and friends. If you either screw me over or cause me to adore you, you're probably going to have a poem written about you.

Hi angie, [i]I started to write when I had my crush in College! lol! He makes me write, we are not friends that time and I just express my feelings through poem, I guess I have made like 6 poems for him...lol! I can write when I am very in love and very sad, but when I am satisfied and happy in my life, I can't put them into words..weird! lol! Anyway, With my husband, I had 3 poems for him! now that I am busy working online, I never start to write again![/i]

Writing poems can really express one's feelings. 6 poems? I think you really like the girl to make that number of poems. It's also easy for me to write poems when in love and sad. When in love because there's a person inspiring me to write everything. When sad, I become too emotional that I just let the words of my poems say what I feel and make others feel it. Maybe the reason why you can't be able to write poems because you are overwhelmed with the happiness you are feeling that you can't explain it and just let yourself feel the moment that you are happy for some reason. Your husband must be very happy that you had 3 poems composed for him.
