Thank you for sharing your reflections about why you write. I enjoyed your rhymed quatrains and am glad to hear that writing allows you to open yourself up and find "release". Cheers- Joan

That's writing alright. Picking a theme and then narrowing it down when you
have so much to say can be hard.

your poem rhymes well and it gives a person an understanding of why someone
writes.

Congratulations on your recognized status.

Good luck with your poem.

    I appreciate your review and also the stars. It is amazing to me what makes the juices flow. I am so in awe of the multitude of people who have the same feelings when writing. I do not feel so alone now. Not an island anymore but a peninsula. Have a great weekend.

Well rhymed and metered poem about the need to
write. It can be a release or a way to live parts
of life again.
there are many reasons we write, all of them good.

    Thank you for your great review. I am so pleased that I am receiving such a positive response when I expected the opposite. I am not the only one that feels that way so now I can go to bed and know that I am not an island but a peninsula. Have a super weekend.

This is an expression of feeling most of us feel but do not put into words...You did it so nicely.
Smile. The presentation is also nice.

A good reason for writing is clearly expressed in this poem. The end rhyme in second and fourth lines of each stanza works. As it is not intended to be singable, the somewhat uneven meter is not important. Overall, well done.

    You're welcome. You really are not alone in your reason. Writing is cathartic for many, as you can freely express yourself knowing that others are at least reading (listening) and possibly agreeing/empathizing. -- Mike

The release of tension, I believe is for all of us! I like your poem and believe it to be well written in style and rhyme! The subject...we can all relate to! Nice poem!

Some absolutely delightful feminine rhymes here that make this stand out. Misrepresentation/trepidation, summation/occasion and the lovely assonance on the first syllable, and near rhyme on the second of surface/purpose. You may write for all the reasons you say but I am glad you write when you write like this.

    I appreciate your review because I value your opinion and have had some very good suggestions for improvement. You have a way of getting your idea across without giving the writer the sense of being stupid. Thank you again and I do hope you start more contests that have a challenge.

Very telling and insightful, Annie. I very much enjoyed this and I suspect writing is more of a therapeutic exercise guided by creativity for most of us.

Excellent choices for rhyming and
Flow. No suggestions to offer for improvement.
