Poetry
I relate to others if they write something that touches me and sometimes I write myself.
I just wrote this as my responce to someone who wanted to know if we like sunset or sunrise better.
And sinse you're asking to try expressing yourself, here's my try
I like sunset, I like sunrise
I like it all, I think it's wise
I like to watch the birds in fly
I like... I don't know why...
I'm just that kind of a girl
Who likes what's beautiful and all...
I'm not an early bird myself
So sunset is when I meet my Elf,
Sunrise is when I often sleep,
But then sometimes I hear beep
That comes from a neighbor's wake up call
That's when I see sunrise and all...)
Yes!
fabulous poetry - and now I have found more writers to visit - thanks, Sugar Sue!
I express my ideas better in writing, just because there's more time to craft the words. I'm not all that bad expressing myself in person either, though (although if things get aggressive or unreasonable in person I'm not great at being equally aggressive or unreasonable).
The only way I find writing at all therapeutic is that I enjoy doing it, and any time we engage in an activity we enjoy it can be therapeutic in some ways. I never writing anything that has any emotional impact for me. My writing is all an "intellectual process". Some of my writing appears to be "written from the heart" because I wait until emotional stuff is old and processed and neatly filed away in "mental files". Then, if I want to write something as a way of trying to "reach out" to readers, I dig out and dust off those old things I once felt. Everything I write is true, and I use memory to find the words for emotions-related subject.
Still, unless some emotional subject is ancient history enough that it means no more to me than, say, the color of my hair or my zip code; I won't write about. I generally keep the things that involve ongoing emotional impact on me to myself. To me, they mean too much to me to be posting on the Internet.
I don't know that I express myself better in writing, it's just I can be less reactive to the moment; I have more control over the subject matter. I enjoy being in that place where the heart meets the mind - and I like to visit that place in others; I like to see the passion come through and it usually overrides any imperfections for me.

Even though in that respect
They would bear no ancestry
Keeping the rime correct
Revealing wits in artistry
Uttering words that souls affect
They cast a bright light reflect
Opon this virtual mind where we connect

Poetry Writing
Okay, when I get on my kicks I write anywhere from 4 to 10 poems a day, maybe more. This doesn't mean that all of them make the cut, or don't go through some heavy revisions. I'm just interested in other people's production.

Is anyone else AFRAID to share their work sometimes?
Sometimes I have to slap myself around a bit...I'm a poet, and I have some work that I am very proud of...but when it comes to sharing my work, online, or simply giving someone a poem of mine to read, I get all weird and uncomfortable about it, like I feel that at the very least they won't know how...
