Because I am also a poet, I need to add my thoughts to this! I do believe that writing is good and very important as a de-stressor, and as a sort of therapeutic thing, but people forget that writing is also a skill and an instinct that a lot of people work at very hard for decades! Only the best should be called poetry. I don't call therapy the same thing as art. (Just like I don't call a child piling blocks an engineer.)

I wrote an article about it here to clarify. I think it is very important. It's a little harsh-sounding, but I really believe it's important. I'm passionate about getting serious writers and artists together on Steem!
