Truly, what we write about ourselves is also an art!
I love that saying too, I found it on Lovingyou.com a long long time ago. I've never written anything - but I did find inspiration to write my husband a poem a few weeks ago, it came out OK I guess... lol --- do you write??
Yes, I do write. I have written some shows for students to perform. Also, I do write poetry. But, when I write poetry, I usually have to be very inspired, like when I am in love with someone. Poetry just doesn't flow out of me as easily as other creative arts do.Quote:

I might do that, but Im quite self conscious about that!! Have you posted any of your writings?

Cal, this one is for you.
JR,
I love the musical mixed art of yours.
I love the (spindle?was it?).I love doing fine details on small objects.
Erica,
I admire you trying out portraits, I could never do them justice,so I quit and I found out that I am not meant to be good at portraits.:)
Clough,
Would love to see some of your poetry,I love reading poetry too.
Grammadidi,Chek,Meterre, where are you ?

Concerning your doing portraits, I just have one thing to say, and that is that perfect practice makes perfect, not just practice makes perfect, for there are many wrong ways to practice anything. At one time, I thought that I was not meant to be a singer. Now, because of taking voice lessons and having worked with most of the finest vocal teachers in the area and gaining insight as to what to do with the voice, I can now say that I am also a singer.
I also don't do portraits in what I might draw. But, given time and the right amount of perfect practice, I am sure that I could do them. Have I been endowed with a Stradivaius as far as the ability to do them? In my opinion, probably not. But, you never know until you try...
Grammadidi has some things happening whereas she won't be quite as available on this site for about a week. Concerning Chek and Meterre, I wonder where they are also.
Poetry by me? We'll have to talk about that...
I can see where someone just coming onto this post might be intimidated because of all of the information that there is on it. I know that I am less likely to respond to a post where there have already been a whole bunch of answers.
So maybe it would be wise, to just every once in a while, put a short post in that simply says something like,
"All are welcome to continue posting here. We would love to see and find out about the artist in you!"
Can you do drawings on grains of rice like some supposedly can? :pQuote:

I also, am quite self-conscious about that! It's really personal stuff that concerns love...Quote:

You have my heart
And the key to my soul
You're everything I've ever wanted
And yet so much more
My time with you,
Is never enough
As I find myself longing
For the feel of your touch.
I know I take for granted
The love that we share
And its not that I don't want it
But because I"m so scared
I love you more
than any words could say
for within you -
I've also found my best friend
I want to be better
more trusting and true
just give me the chance
and I'll prove this to you
Dont give up on me
and I"ll never give up on you
Because if I ever lost you
My world would be incomlete
Boy - I'd forget how to breathe
Ok... so its kind of an immature writing really. LOL But at least it will make someone laugh I'm sure :)
Nice poem erlo :)
Thanks for the links firm, will read them when I finish my homework :s
I tend to be self conscious about my poems too, when they about love.
I mite post some of mine on here along with my art, I'm an okayish poet maybe, some can be very depressing though :(
I'm going to have to disagree with you that it is immature. It is a song from your heart, that can happen at any age as concerning love. It has depth and soul and shows a caring about someone according to how you feel. For each of us, that is something very personal and unique. Really, it about makes me cry, because of the experiences that I have had with love. It does touch me. It's very much like some of the things that I have written, only mine are a little more pointed. So much so, that I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing them here. I would rather share the other types of art in which I am involved.
Besides that, I would have to find them first! And, that would take a long time. I think that they are up in my attic, somewhere. They are about loves of the past, still sometimes in my mind, but for now, stored up in the attic - literally and figuratively!
Now, I should be in bed! And, I have just gotten a private message from some young lady who has been yearning for help in finding answers with her life as concerning relationships; was treated very rudely when she first posted and I stepped in to try and calm things down some, and also got treated very rudely.
Would you like to help, please?
Either of you?
Ummmmmm I don't know what I can do id need more info on what happened and what her issues is. If you can direct me to her post?
Depends on what the problems are, I mite be able to provde some help or encouragement.
Well what's the matter? Why the rudeness ? Let us know what you need! I'd be glad to help!
And Cloguh - I understand and totally respect your feelings about posting your poetry for the public to view. It's a very personal thing - and I'm sure you have some GREAT poetry stored in that Attic! Share anything else though, I'm sure its all fantastic :)
Clough... the idea of a person being rude to someone who needs help, and to a wonderful person like you, is just appalling!
CAL823 - I saw above something about homework - are you in college??
Hope Im not being too nosey, I was just curious!
Thanks, Cal and Erica! This is the link to the post. https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/mental...an-142055.html If you or anyone else decides to become involved, then please be sure to read all of the posts on that thread. Thank you!
This is for anyone who is interested. It is your choice. Please don't feel guilty if you decide to not get involved. I'm just trying to gather together the forces and expertise to help someone in need.
There are certain people that I call in to help with certain posts that are difficult that have to do with some personal, emotional issues. At least one of them has been a part of this post. I have done this a number of times in the past many months with great success. It is part of the reason that this site is so good! There really is much sharing and caring going on here!
I am posting this here because we are a bunch of people who care about each other and what each other does. It's kind of a given thing in the arts, and that is to care about and support one another. I am sure that is one of the reasons that only certain people have been involved in this post.
I have not answered her private message yet. She currently has logged off since posting the private message. The private message is that she is reaching out to see if she needs to work on herself.
Thank you!
Craig
