Farewell

[muddy]

a broken heart can write, but after the heartbreaking time... the idea of the poet with tears in its eyes fits in Hollywood, but not in life... it's like those poems that has a big introduction and after it doesn't say a thing..."this is a poem that I wrote when my husband was in the world war III and I, as the same way of Penelope, used to knit and knit looking at the window and waiting for...." pardon my vocabulary, it's bullshit.

(Anyway, I was expecting this kind of discussion. Though I can't be agreed with all of you, it's quite interesting to do it thinking, as Lizzy said, that most of us come here to write from a lot of different places and cultures, and, god, we still keep going. I feel very proud about this and patience, though I can't bring a lot of me here, as Lizzy said, because of my brief answers )


Muddy,

I can agree with this, Muddy. My point has to do with the fact that the vast majority of those who share here aren't representing themselves as being "the poet" capturable on film, or in their personal life, either. Like Mr. Tanner, they write as he sang because "it just made him whole." *

In fairness to Sandra, though it was definitely part of my thinking, she was the one who specifically used the phrase "different cultures," unless you just happened to use "different places and cultures" as a paraphrase of what I said about non-native, English speakers. Bottom line, it's a perspective all three of us share.

You do much better than you may think you do in making your points .

1% talent, 99% perseverance

I don't recall whether the percentages were exact [it may have been 5%, 95%], but the principle is the same, regarding what I've heard for a long time as to those who 'make it' and those who don't.

I know that; otherwise, I would not be here.

Hi Muddy ~

May I take the liberty of 'seeing' a at the end of your sentence? It would simply serve to 'soften' the effect .

[Well, contrary to Partisan's edicts, I won't incur my Edited line up there, but will correct myself, as the phrase should have been written "it just made him whole."]

[lizzytysh]
