To analyze the writing
Is to kill the tender heart
If words you read can make you feel
Well, isn't that thier part
And no amount of talk can change
The perceptions that you had
When first you read these written words
No matter good or bad
For I would rather have you hate
And laugh, and scoff, and cry
Than read one word that I have wrote
With an indifferant eye

This flows so well! It can be difficult writing like this.. Art is an impression, and poetry the greatest form. I really like this, both your word's meanings, and their placements.

how a 12 line point of view can inspire such debate is the beauty of words. for me, a re-read will only enhance my initial reaction, but will rarely change it.

the choice, grouping and positioning of words is what differentiates a good piece from a great piece.


On Saturday April 26th, 2003, Armand (70) writes:
for me its always about the words - not the subject matter - that stirs my emotions. if not for the words, i can get the same reaction from an episode of 20/20 or oprah...

I've read, I love, and we have quite a bit in common about that which the both of us write.

An initial emotional reaction to a poem is an honest reaction. I agree with you 100 per cent, liquid. Most times a tear is only a tear. Keep writing, S.

thank you:)

this isn't about limiting oneself in any way. This about FEELING something. Of course not all writing is emotional and I never said it was. But the vast majority of poetry is meant to be felt. When you analyze a work over and over you lose the initial fee

feeling...the real meaning. And if a person cannot understand something without reading into it over and over then it is over thier heads. That is when they are learning, not reading. Which is not a bad thing, mind you. And there is no such thing as limit

limited perception, unless you are talking about personal self, or an isolated individual. And there is no refusing to examine anything... again you are reading into what I say and adding thought of your own not intended by my writing. This is not seeing

a book for it's cover... It is seeing a book for a book. You have already missed the point.

To combine discussion with a_fetal_remnant's 'word associate' and this... why should one limit oneself to only experiencing a written work solely

on an emotional basis? Not all writing, or even poetry, is written on an emotional basis. On that basis alone, poets like Ezra Pound, or T.S. Eliot, or Allen Ginsberg, or even the
