R, I broke my wrist and pinkie finger, so this is short, lol.... but we enjoy your insights and please don't give up. I came into a love of poetry late in life, but maybe it helps me to be pickier. I wish I could write. I imagine if I did, it would be agonizing at times. (My own sense of magenta).
V, I do hope you're ok. That's not a very pleasant thing to happen.
I'm not going to give up. Sometimes it's just more uphill than others.
Thanks for your lovely words.
My opinion is that everyone can write. That's what I've always thought. When I did teach poetry, my classes were never about "this is good" or "this is not good" but rather of presenting opportunities to people to have some sort of catharsis through writing, and through perhaps seeing the world (and themselves) with different eyes.
