That's fair. :-)

Well, folks. I have read through many of these poems and none of them has really captured my attention. I stop reading before I even finish because they don't keep me reading it. To be fair, I have not read every single one posted so perhaps there is one that would. By no means am I trying to put anyone down as even an attempt at writing deserves some praise. However, I think that many of you are trying too hard and writing what you feel. Don't do that! The following quote is mine. I made it up! Read it and hear it!

"Don't write what you feel, feel what you write!"

To me it seems that many of you are simply writing what you can conjour in your head. That's your mistake! Never write from your head! Write from your heart! Your heart is what gives you true feeling. Your heart is what gives your pen its true power!

The following poem is one that I wrote. Its about a real girl that at one time I did actually fall in love with. Its truely written from the heart.

Fly

For just a moment, I thought I could fly
In that moment, I could reach the sky
Never in time has my reach gone this far
Never in time had this beat captured my heart

There was a connection between you and I
It was a connection that helped me fly
Words were spoken that seemed so very true
Now they are nothing, not without you

When I took your kiss
There was still more that I would need
It was your kiss that let me feel you when I breathe
It'��s no lie, the trance you put me through
It'��s no lie, I fell in love with you

This flight I was on
It ended before it began
This flight I was on
Became my heart pounding end

My wings were clipped as I was in flight
I came crashing to Earth as I lost my light
Never before has my soul felt so blue
As it only sings near a picture of you.
