You are so VERY wrong!
I did not write my comment so as to tell you off - I was telling you that you DO have talent, but that talent by itself is not enough.

There are great poets in the history of literature who wrote poems, re-wrote them, read and re-read them and wrote them again, polishing what their gift has given them, trying to perfect the poem.

You wrote your poem and, I suspect, because it used to happen to me, you fell in love with it and posted it without even reading it once to check for mistakes. So, instead of impressing us and creating a tiny dot of beauty or sadness or love within us, you left us concentrating on the fact that you cannot spell the word December (obviously you can spell the word, you just reversed the two letters -if I posted my comments without my checking for that kind of errors, mine also would be full of such mistakes).

What I am trying to tell you is, be your OWN critic; strive to produce the best poems you can and only once you have re-read and corrected them the next day, publish them for anyone else to read them.

When you feel you have achieved perfection, that is when you cross your fingers and HOPE that someone with more expertise and talent is wlling to be a teacher and help you grow even further.

If you truly love what you are doing - and if you love yourself, then being a poet will always leave you feeling a bit unsatisfied, because you will keep on looking back at your past work and you'll tell yourself, oh crap, I could have done better.

You will be wrong if you do so. I am not just throwing words at you, today I will be posting a long poem I wrote about 40 years ago. I can see, now, how I should have written it, but I respect the person I was at that time, so I will be posting it as I wrote it then. I had re-written and tried my best at that time, so I am happy with it, despite the faults time has taught me to avoid now.

I'll be checking on you, so as to enjoy your new poems, hoping to see you improve month by month - and if you want me to try and help, say so from now, or else I will only read and upvote if I feel you deserve it (even one unique line, one gift of an image from your mind to mine, will earn the upvote), but I will not speak about what was less than you could achieve. So, what do you want?
