while i love poetry as much as i can. i'm not sure i'm inspired by my happiness. i do agree that poetry is often the spirit of things, even if it's an imaginary spirit. sometimes the women is the life. isn't poetry what we make it. do we create it or is it always there, and we just uncover it. i see poetry in a lot more than words. people look at towers and see different things. to some it's not even a tower. she's too communicative to be in a tower, even one of brilliance. i see her as a good teacher and a friend as far as friends on here can go but i'm not sure i know anyone from what they write in a poem. i suppose that's a bit of a lie, some are open books. When we write a poem often it's just a snippet of who we are, but more often, it's a snippet of who we aren't or who we want to be. so i go back on my " i suppose that's a bit of a lie" and say i don't want to know who someone is through a poem. i want to know who i am through reading their poetry. or how what they write affects me. we have more men than women in the forum
