Comment from Brett Matthew West

Excellent

Writing, for me any way, has always been a talent more so than something I learned how to do.

This poem presents a good question that makes the reader stop to think and consider a very valid point.

Hi Brett; thank you so much for reviewing and acknowledging the questions asked. Writing prose is my gift, but I write poetry in spite of struggling with its requirements.

The work does hold a thought, deposits ponders about poetic sketched art, taps of meaningful sought clarity by writer. A view we all face as writers in my opinion.

A very well-written Sapphonic Triad. The format of this poetry creation is unique and can help to create masterful poetry when the set rules are followed and executed.

This speaks what is writing poetry and places a question readers have to decide, poet wishes to write perfect poems using meter and rhyme and maintaining rules; I liked.

hmm I would like to think personally my humble poetry covers all those dictionary definitions. Well i do try to do those things i know that much. Poetry is such a personal thing in one's taste not everyone likes every style and I can totally understand. Personally I have been told my poetry is too simplistic and not metaphorical and flowery enough not using all the poetic tools of poetry. That's just fine because as I said everyone writes differently diversity is the spice of life

Thanks for sharing

Hi dip; thank you so much for sharing my pain; I don't use big words and I still struggle with what the poetic devices mean.

But, like the definition says, I have beautiful descriptions --- as do you,

Poetry is kinda like meeting people, some we meet we may not think are all that attractive and the next person may feel he or she is drop dead beautiful. I think the idea is to write so it can speak to the hearts of our readers. Patricia

Hi Patricia; I couldn't agree with you more. Writing poetry for me has been a difficult process - I avoid the poetic forms that require meter because I struggle just with counting syllables!

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing,

Good way to think about writing poetry. I never thought of it as a place (abyss) but a language. And as the rest of the poem elaborates, like language, there are all sorts of rules.

thank you so much for your review and thoughts - I think the abyss represented, for me anyway, is the depth we need to pursue to find the right words in the right order,

This is a very well written poem you wrote about writing poetry. You used very good wording and very good information about the Sapphonic Triad. I enjoyed reading and reviewing it. Did not see any mistakes in this. Blessings, Teri
