John.... a word of encouragement.... you're NEVER going to satisfy EVERYONE with your writing talents.... there's ALWAYS going to be critics out there..... they're not out there to destroy you, but to strengthen you!! A muscle cannot be built until it is stretched beyond it's limit... once healed from the over stretching... it's stronger!!! Be a muscle - NOT a mouse!!! Get back into your writing and EXPRESS YOURSELF!!! Don't worry about the critics! They're going to criticize someone regardless if it's YOU or not! There's more of us that enjoy your writing than not, so keep it coming!

right thanks i been here so long i should know that by now
No, you've been here and will stay here where you belong. This is a beginning and your talent will be getting stronger and stronger. The more you write the better a verse. If you don't practice you will never make it. Whatever you have done up to now is good and promising. This I know for sure cause I have read all your poems. No comment does not mean nobody reads. Carry on and cheers.
Hi, stillframe, My son once said to me that it should not matter whether anyone else likes what I write; it is enough that I write for myself. I try to remember his words and find strength in them; yet, I do need encouragement every now and then. The metaphysical question, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" remains: substance versus bundle theory amidst the possibility of unperceived existence! Keep writing and sharing. That's what poets do.

this is the way iv writing poetry since i was five i have poems on here before i was stillframe johntheraven1 and justmejohn how can i change that
FellsmanLake District, Cumbria, England UKJan 15, 2011
Your writing hasn't changed since the age of five? Thereby lies the problem.
I don't mind trying to help anybody so long as they are prepared to try and help themselves!
OK Step right away from your comfort zone. Acknowledge that there is a vast amount of room for improvement in your writing, for example, your punctuation is virtually non existent.
Next, try and set your writing into verses of 4 lines to start with, thats the easiest format to begin with.
If you can rhyme some lines, that's good, if not, at least set your story out in neat lines, it looks better and is easier to read, and that would be free verse.
That's as far as I am going for now, it's pointless overloading with information. I'm sure I am not the only one on here who will help with advice if you in turn show any inclination to improve your writing.
The ball is in your court.
Regards

Master Fellsman, you are a genius of encouragement. We all need to improve. Whatever you said here is true for me and many others here. We can help ourselves by trying to improve in many ways possible. Thank you!!!

Hi John, I remember when you were posting under the name John the Raven, remember that you write for yourself, so it is yourself that needs to be happy with something you write. Maybe it would help if you did some more reading, anything that you think you might like, and also get a dictionary, we all have them, cos we don't all know what some words mean. Also it might help you on this site if you were to read other peoples poems, and maybe do a little commenting yourself, that way you will be able to get more into it....I am a published author, and yet not everyone likes my stuff either, the point is that I keep writing, no matter how hard things get, and I can tell you that I have had it very hard sometimes, I won't bore you with the details, enough to say that you can pull yourself up....If you want to.....Kindest regards... Andrew
