  I started writing poems when I was in like the 3rd grade.  I used to have a shoe box filled with them, which my mother threw out.
   
  I used to read whatever I could, which included my big sister's English books.  I read "All's Well That Ends Well"  when most people my age were reading on the Jack and Jill level. I used to have my poems published in the paper on a regular basis when I was 15 and 16.  Funny how I don't even acknowledge that anymore as something that was kind of special.  And I like writing haiku poetry, too.
   
  You did a good one there with the last poem, so I know you got it in you!
   
  So where did I go wrong?  Don't know.  But you should keep on writing whatever you feel like at the time, and make it count.

  Queen,
  Don't stop doing what you enjoy and like doing. If something you do is really to your liking, the outcome will always be something nice. Wombat is right, you got it in you!
  I enjoyed reading firefly... Yeah, expect to have some days when you feel like you've run out of words or can't get it right but it's all part of it. Like you said, you were inspired doing the last one, then find your inspiration, your muse or whatever it is that brings out the poet in you. Sometimes we think what we have written is not that good, but it works for another, so just keep writing! (and keep dancing) :-D

  YES! I loved that poem. I cant write no haikus so thats a talent for you..and i had one, only one poem published in  book.

  Queenie, without a doubt, keep writing poetry. for no other reason but that you like to and the more you do something the better you get at it. i really liked the Firefly poem. it make me smile and imagaine this little bug. lol.... so yes, you have it in you to write in any form! don't you know!

  Oh I say you always write.  If you like it then do it, to heck with what anybody else says.  If you happen to choose to share your poetry, there's going to be some who like it and some who don't.  But you still get the fulfillment of having written it, and knowing what it means to you.

  queenie, you should write more poetry.
  yes, definitely. more poetry.
  me-my put it so aptly: 
  the more you do something, the better you get at it.

  sure, why not ..

• gingersoul said on Aug 15, 2009....

  Queenie......why do you even ask?
  
  Poetry is for expressing your own feelings, not for pleasing the readers.
  
  If only for giving relief to your emotions, why shouldn't you keep writing?
  
  I also suggest to start reading poetry. A whole world will open up in front of your eyes....:-)

  i believe it was pickersplock that reminded me that i'm not writing poetry because it's popular, i write it because it needs to be written. they are some of my least read and commented posts, and some of the ones i like the best. write them for you, write them because they need to be written, and don't worry about anything else.

• CreativeWoman said on Aug 15, 2009....

  Of course you should.  :-)

  no poetry is an essential element in our society that nevers gets the credit it deserves... I only recently started writing it, have always enjoyed writing but felt that poetry had too many rules and was something only a few actually appreciated but too me is a thousand times more expressive and heart felt than any writings that I have done..

• MsBradford07 said on Aug 15, 2009....

  Most definitely,  do what you love. I think you have talent.

• simplyconfused said on Aug 15, 2009....

  keep writing!  You enjoy it!  It doesn't have to be about 'how good' the writing is!  Continue what you enjoy!! ^_^

• woman said on Aug 15, 2009....

  If there are poems in you wanting to be written, then YES! You write because you need to. Because the words flow through you. Not because you want the words judged. Write Queenie!
