To My Friends

Poetry plea for understanding

Someone To Watch Over Me midi         To My Friends   Recently I have been told my poetry shows I have a bad mentality But I'm just trying to be me     I'm sorry if I have offended some although I honestly don't know how With me, what you see is what you get I write my poetry with no regrets     If I have offended you in some way Please don't be afraid to say Naive I very well may be For I honestly do not see How my poetry could offend Any of my precious friends     I am and have never been a sneak In my poetry my life you get a peek If I have a bad mentality Please tell me how this could be Honestly I can not see that I have a bad mentality     I stay in my own little group of friends On their reviews I do depend I do not see how I could offend I always try my best to do good Although in the past my intentions have been misunderstood     There is no halo upon my head of this I do know But there are no horns either or I would let them show For I am just me What you see is what you get I say this with no regret For I'm just trying to be myself I have never lived my life in stealth     By Ray Hamilton Not a poet and I know it! © Copyright 8 / 2008 All rights Reserved   Please visit me at The Poet's Nest

Ray, you are kidding right?? I see nothing wrong with your writing and often wonder why you put "not a poet" when indeed you are..We all are
different and think and create differently..That is what makes this site and us unique..We can be ourselves..Others have received bad and mean
reviews..It takes a small minded little person to do that on here..This is a creative writing site where all kinds of people that love to write can express them selves..They should be able to do that with out offending anyone as the poetry or story is NOT about them it is just "thoughts' that pop into a creative writers head..Enough of this garbage, lets love one another as Christ loved us and write our hearts out..If you do not like the work..just back off of it..that is the easy way and it hurts no one..God bless Ray and I am sorry there are some ignorant people on this site that like to hurt others..Valentine

I've always loved your writing,its made me happy at times made me think at times or even laugh out loud.this was very well put and with a lot of your feelings in it.well done. there is no reason for anyone to take offense to anything you written.you are a great wonderful person and friend and who ever this is judging you really should'nt be in the first place. i think its jealousy because you write well.don't ever say your sorry to anyone for your writing, you do not have to be ya here.you take care friend again i love all of yours.

Oh my friend....this is beautifully written from the soul, with a lot of hurt behind it that
comes through so clearly.
Please don't let these "nutters" whoever they are stop you from penning your wonderful
poems. I enjoy them and judging from the rest of the comments many, many people do
too and how on earth could anyone say they 'offend', I'd like to know. Its just "sour grapes"
I expect, because they can't write as well as you!

Forget about them, they are not even worth giving a second thought to. I, fortunately,
touch wood, have not had this kind of thing done to me, and I hope I never shall.
(Probably will now) LOL. But if I did I'd tell them to.....well you know!

Leave our friend alone, whoever you silly little people are.....Ray would run rings around
you all anyway and he is a great gentleman and a dear poet friend to me. So rack off!!

Sorry Ray, just had to have my little say!

Hugs
Helena :)

I find your poems kind of comforting, in this world of negatives and bad vibes. to suffer through
long diatribes of jibberish and bad humour; snooty eloquence and put downs, like on other sites
not Writerscafe. we can all feel welcome to your poetry. (you ARE a poet Ray) your life experiences
ad interest to the stuff. thanks for everything Ray.

You should never feel as though you have to say sorry for what you feel nor what you write. If it is what you truly feel well then...FEEL it..."people" should never tell you how to feel or criticize you for feeling that way! Your feelings are your own, and no real friend would try to make you feel any differently...maybe feel better, but not different!

Great Write!

Ray,

Never apologize for you feelings. Anyone who take offense should really take a hard look in the mirror. Just as we cannot make a person like our work, they cannot require we be less than honest with our feelings. Only a coward requires conformity for others. I like your work!

Offend away my friend!

The most inoffensive guy I know - just tell them to get a life, Ray.
