WritersCafe

haiku string

writers gather here

in search of community

how many find it?

 

deep love of language

compels many to take risks

seeking approval

 

hopes and dreams poured out

what use if no one sees it?

will anyone see?

 

is it poetry

if no one understands it?

is sharing enough?

 

guiding the reader

crafting imagination

an effort of faith

 

contests bring focus

a pathway to expression

an excuse to write

[Alaska Frost]

Great poem!! These are also my feelings.... i like being able to just write and not be made fun of and just to be able to publish my poems on this website and let them fly... i like hearing (well in this case, reading) what people have to say and whether or not they like my poems.... it helps me become a better writer and i think that many people on this website feel the same way about it as you do.... keep writing

[you just never know]

i love haiku. i can't write it very well, but i love to read it. i like the way you describe WritersCafe with such honesty.

Very well said! You ask some great questions through out! It's like you've been here, examined and asked the perfect questions, so of which I ask myself! Good write!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

A beautiful string of haikus to form a wonderful expression... this is a great place for writing, to be inspired and grow even find some great friends along the way.

[Poeticpiers]

a nice piece of poetic prose. I think most find what they are seeking for but only if the appreciate honesty in feedback and are not merely looking for praise

[Monday Parker]

Wow this is a VERY true poem. I wonder how many of us you speak for in these words...I know that many of these lines have been my thoughts. Good job!!!!
