This twenty-line poem, The Outlet, has the proper line count and brings the drama of life to the written page so it doesn't rattle around inside and break something.

You seem to have nailed a lot of the same reasons that I write. I write late in the evenings as well because I get so bored with the news and programs. Well done on this poem.

    Thank you so much for the review. Many of the people who read this said this is also the the reason they write. :You are the last to read this most likely because it just went off the listing.

And you are a true artist with your words, dear Beth. What a lovely poem this is, and it truly suits you very well. You have a beautiful gift for self-expression in the written word, whether in prose or poetry, and you've given us a very elegant and well composed example, right here!

    Thank you so much Mary Kay. I'm so glad you like my little poem. I've always found I'm more relieved when I get my feeling on paper.

I like your poem about expressing your feelings in writing. That is a good thing, so many people let their emotions overflow to everyone. How much better it is to put them down on paper, and that brings release. Good rhyming.

I think we are so lucky in these awful days of the pandemic to have this wonderful outlet that is writing. You express my thoughts entirely. I wish you lots of luck in the competition. Jen.

This is a great poem expressing why you write, how writing liberates you to share what you do not publicly express elsewhere, all your inner thoughts and feelings, transforming them. It flows very well, with smooth and consistent rhyme.
