Poet Lady Katz: new forum reply to Why I write poetry

New reply from Susan Katz

<p>Well done!  May I suggest that ending the next to last line with the word "tranquil" does not work for me because "tranquil" by itself is incomplete.  You could use an image (tranquil sea – tranquil sky, etc.) or, you could add a word that would complete the thought, such as "tranquil mood."  Your poem is well written and has both a poetic and emotional message that I find very moving.  I would definitely consider featuring your poem on my Instagram page once you've had a chance to rethink that one line – or not – the poem is yours and must remain yours – my words are just suggestions that you should ignore if they don't resonate with you.  Thank you so much for sharing, Susan</p>

Why I write poetry

<p style="text-align: center;">When my mind is devoid</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And filled with doubts,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I open my pages</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">To pen down my angst.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It brings in a tranquil</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">That's peaceful and still.</p>
