but do not try to hard
you are not looking
for a style...
other people think
you should have
or write in
you are writing what you know
what you feel if you feel strongly enough
need to express yourself enough
eventually one day you will write yourself
in the meantime enjoy the journey
enjoy any good comments
forget the bad
bad style
bad poems
are part of the journey

I would like to translate this poem
I wrote the poem 'How Would You Like To Be Treated? ' inspired by a reaction to the comment 'Broken Poets are plenty' on the poem 'Write Often', by the poet Terence George Craddock. The poem 'Write Often' was written to encourage young or developing poets, to encourage, not to mock. Dedicated to all poets young, green, developing, trying; keep up the writing, listen to encouragement, delete the unpleasant critics.
