RE: End of the week - Top 15 Poetry Picks - One Human basket

Oh wow, this is a treat. I guess I did not realize you were going to do recaps like this -- utterly wonderful, and truly lovely to have made the list.

Stay a beacon, @robyneggs. People respond to kindness, and magically some grow. <3

Congratulations to all that made the list and all that entered/shared to @onehumanbasket.

*I would like to add a side note about poetry here @robyneggs (if you want me to remove this just say so):
It is with perseverance that One gets better at anything and poetry is no different. I have been hearing some rather crass stuff on steemit about "bad poetry" and feel the need to simply say, never let anyOne's opinions affect your creative output. Listen and take in the useful information, disregard the rest and, continue to grow your craft. We must all learn that critiques are valuable in life, that in growth we gain something intangible and hopefully something beautiful to share in an artful way. I will forever remain an optimist and supportive of creativity in the world. I'm sure I was a "bad poet" at one time and it must of been hard for people that loved me, let alone strangers, to read my words without judgement. I never stopped writing and never will. It's about getting something out (poetry in particular) that needs to be exhumed. Get it out for yourself and learn the craft so that others may partake in your art as viewers (I learned that if I wanted to break the rules I needed to demonstrate that I knew the rules first, literature and poetry is filled with this process of learn and then push it). We all relate to the human condition, good stories and art are such a magical way of sharing our aloneness.
Keep writing.
Keep learning.
Keep sharing.

My two cents on the subject.
