I Wrote Poems About Writing Poetry Comments

You write out the silent questions living perhaps in so many of us, certainly also in me. Do I matter, does what I write matter, will it matter in years from here? If i google my poet name and I see someone using a poem of mine on his or her blog or connecting one of my poems to a photo, it gives me some unnamable satisfaction. When a twelve-old had put on youtube a video for her arts project in school with my poem in it, it made feel so good. But quite often the questions you posed here remain. Does it matter, will it matter, or does it matter only to me. Perhaps if it matters to ourselves, that is something quite important already. If we manage to inspire only a few people or even only one, perhaps all we have written will have mattered somehow. It is always a pleasure to recognise one's own feelings in a poem written by someone else. This poem mattered to me! :) Excellent write.
