Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
A very well written and thought provoking
couplet query.
I'm not sure of the answer but it is a question
well asked.
I guess if you have confidence in your own
ability ,you take the positives and use them,
and just let the negatives go.
Sounds got but it isn't always so easy as emotions are involved. We can but try.

Poetry helps me repair my soul and at times forces me to look at life in different ways . If it is not forthcoming I really don't care so I agree with your thoughts. Well done.

Comment from 9999pool
From despair to disappointments and from joy to ruin, we must have faced these things over and over again.
There are things beyond our control like illnesses and diseases.
But poetry is slightly different in that we can choose what to write and how to write.
Soon, we ran out of steam and themes to write and what do we do then? It's that time when we say, I don't care and who cares besides us? Will our readers and reviewers missed us when we stopped writing? If there are a few who do care, then 'We don't care' is not applicable. However if not even one or them misses us or our writings, what have we got to say? Smiles.
Do not despair and we write because we care and share.
We write for the joy and fun of it. Expectations can ruin a lot of the pleasure one derives from writing.
Cheerio, good write with a great message.
Ritchie. :))

Comment from ravenblack
Believe it or not - well, you probably believe it - I often wonder the same thing myself. As did many many of our best poets. .. And as do. That's what makes poetry a bit like riding the tiger.

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Hi Tom,
Such a powerful query and thought provoking as well. What answers would fill you in that deeper part that needs to know? Sometimes its not the answers that are important it is the journey itself we learn from.
I always go into nature, I may not get answers but I always find peace in the steps I walk.
Great post to stimulate the senses.
Thanks for sharing it.

you need not despair as your work is always magnificent. I think however these two lines speak to many and yes I would agree if having to choose one it would be I don't care

Thank you Trevor. I am leaning you way. I think it takes a thicker skin to handle the life of a poet or author.

When I get writer's block I often tell myself I don.'t care but the elation I feel when I've completed a poem belies my inner sabotage.
