I Am Not a Poetess

If only words came naturally to me....

Such a nice poem, Dr. Y. I loved the writing style, and that style conveys such a strong message through simple words. Thanks for sharing.

I admire your humility, but we are all poets, to some degree. Our lines of verse may not glitter and shine, but we all have something worth saying, and we can choose how we want to say it. Some of our words may fall on deaf ears, but someone somewhere will be touched by our words, and for that reason alone we have the right to call ourselves poets, and to feel vindicated. Happy writing!

There are small silver linings in this world, and the only true lining is in between the white spaces of words. It seems the great Yumna K can still interpret the spaces in those white spaces.

You are a true poetess, a seamstress of words.

I think many of us share your feelings here Dr Y. Words certainly don't come easy to me. There seems to be a drought and the muse has become increasingly lazy. Takes regular holidays she does. It is lovely to see a post from you again. It has been quite sometime.

I relate to this so well, feeling like more of a conduit than a poet.
I don't know where the words come from....they are suddenly there in spurts, I write them down or type them down....
and that is the interaction....and when they leave...I sit here just nursing a very quiet set of keys.
Nicely expressed for all of us.

It would be extremely presumptuous of me to say I am a poet. I am a fella that can string a few simple wordś together that some folk find okay when read.
Saying that we are what other folk deem us to be Dr Poetess Yumnakay

So say we all... but you're saying it oh so well!!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Guilty of self-doubt, that's all people like me are. So, I guess writes like this one fuel the inner ego when kind people like you review :D
Thanks so much for reading, Chris. Hope you're doing well.

I'm still here... but many fewer are ...now, and not by their choice sadly. Few rule the many as they please - so ...little changes. We continue to co-exist with self-doubt regardless of what we know better.

There is honesty - of feelings, hope, expression, and heart: and a sense of frustration, anger, and helplessness to affect the changes we KNOW in our hearts is needed.

Welcome back Doc - you been missed.
