Writing Havoc

Scribble this out...
Change this word...
Add this stanza...
Remove this line...
Tweet that rhythm...
Express vivid emotions more...
Downplay personal information...
Use a persona...
Remember not to be first person...
Deny anything you don't want known...
Admit facts to true friends...
Send out for sharing...
Analyze how poorly it's written...
Rip the poem apart at the seams...
Feel shitty about everything...
Struggle with compliments and ridicule...
Accept your poetic essence

Been years since I have seen

Been years since I have seen your posts on this site, but this poem contains quite a bit of wisdom.  Although my eye stumbled at the expletive in the fifteenth line, the final two lines just really knocked me over with their succinct statement of such profound, wide, and experienced advice.  This kind of advice is always timely for all Poets, those who are long term members of this community, and those who are new.
