Does it matter what all the other people say? Why write for a world that never knows what it wants? I always thought a writer should write something simply for the joy of writing it, that one should write something because you can't NOT write it. People can read passion between the lines. I say write with passion anything that it gives you joy to write about, relevant or not, and come what may. Then, even if the poem is not well received, it still wasn't a waste of time because you were doing something you love. You have made something that pleases you, and spent happy hours doing it. Play with the words, revel in them, adore them, and forget about the eyes on the other end of the adventure. And who knows, maybe you were writing for a generation that has not yet been born. That is my answer to the original conversation.
