why poets always feel lonly?

Answer 1

Kiko,

Maybe one should look
at it the other way around.
I believe that to be a poet
you must have experienced
the good and the bad life has
to offer, and therein comes
this wisdom that enables
one to convert them into
this wonderful sentences
that touch others.

It's a very rich kind of
loneliness -- in most
cases.
Have a great day!

Answer 2

From my experience and previous readings, I've concluded that in order to write memorable pieces of art, you have to suffer, as the best art (whatever form it is, and whatever it depicts) comes from sadness, torment or any other negative feeling. Even if the art itself is joyful, the artist has his inner pain, fears, nightmares. Jorge Luis Borges said something similar in an interview, but unfortunately I don't have the source around so that I can quote him. A great man.
Oh, and not all poets feel lonely, and those that do, don't ALWAYS feel that. It's just what I previously said.
You have to be touched in order to touch others ;)

perhaps it stems from adolescents while maximum human beings are advised to be seen and not heard. do you know many human beings experience lonely even while in a room finished of human beings that's no longer uncommon yet is is extremely a terrible thank you to experience. perhaps you have a subject with your own self-well worth and can earnings from finding trouble-free floor with the aid of adjusting right into a member of for occasion the interior reach analyzing team the place you talk books etc. this might construct up your self self belief and hopeful discover others that have the comparable hobbies as you. As an engineer you're able to be able to desire to have studied very lots and perhaps you have been seen a swat and did no longer supply your self the luxurious of having pals, you are able to exchange all that ...get out and approximately. stable luck with overcoming your subject and bear in strategies that a lot of human beings have the comparable emotions of loneliness that's something you ought to artwork at.

Answer 4

Probably because they pour their heart and soul in to their work, they feel like they have nothing left after they are done. It takes great passion to be a poet and that can drain you. My suggestion would be to do something active or cheerful after you are done creating the work you do. That might balance things out for you.

Answer 5

Sorry but I am a poet and I certainly don't feel lonely, I think what you may mean is why are we emotional/moody? Most artistic people whether it be poetry, art, music or acting tend to work with their emotions, it just helps them express themselves better. We are just sensitive souls!

Answer 6

Not all of them...but being a poet, they tend to be emotional and have very emotional reactions to situations and take things personally because they usual feel deeply about a lot of things...

But that could be just me....

Answer 7

Some of them must;) Especially romantic poets. Why? Because they are different, higher than "normal", ordinary people and isolated cause they're misunderstood, underestimate and they don't have their place in society. However, without them people can't exist. Some of them seek loneliness cause only then they feel inspired.

Poets, like painters, serious musical composers, sculptors, prose-writers, chefs and other artists have a singularity of vision and the ability to distance themselves from the mundane in order to comment upon it. This does not always predispose to the easy formation of relationships. The intensity of the artistic vision is not palpable to those who are not so endowed - artists are often seen as being eccentric, or even 'mad', which is why they form their own circles and social gatherings - vide the Paris Left Bank or Bloomsbury in London. Unless you are an artist, you cannot perceive the feelings of an artist.

The poet stands back from the world to observe it, and then comments upon the world as he or she sees fit. A few examples - Brian Patten deals with the intensity of love in a society wherein the parameters that define love were changing (sixties and seventies Britain). Hugh MacDiarmuid exults in the purity of human intellect, as expressed through other masters such as James Joyce or, indeed, nature (one of his poems compares the structure of a leaf to the way a ship is built, and finds many similarities). Sir John Betjeman laments the passing of a 'comfortable' England and its replacement by a fast-moving, competitive and unartistic society. Rimbaud, Mallarme and Baudelaire used the magnificent sonorities of the French language to revel in the subtleness of sensuality, whilst Allen Ginsburg used brutal alliteration and word play, with a very complex meter, to express his anger at reactionary America - his feelings being compounded by his being a homosexual who 'outed' himself in his poetry, at a time when homosexuality was valued as deviant, if not criminal.

A poem, or a symphony, or even a good dinner, cannot be planned, prepared and executed in a matter of minutes.The complexity of argument in a symphony, for example, requires hours of solitary work, and few symphonies of note have been completed in less than a year. (Mozart excepted - but he was a genius for his time, and also had to deal with a smaller orchestra and a less-complex compositional technique that was the vogue at the time - J.S Bach is far and away the better musician).
Poems, too, need construction, as well as inspiration. Unless one's partner or lover is able to appreciate the need of his/her opposite for time alone, often in deep contemplation, the situation of the artist militates against the formation of 'normal' relationships.

The intensity of feeling that goes with many artists is another case in point - look at Van Gogh's ear! Often, artists despair of the fact that other humans cannot feel as intensely as the artist does. I would cite an example from my own life - as a chef (and a smoker), I despair of people who smoke whilst waiting for their first course. Chefs are artists - even a beefburger at my place will be made by hand, using prime steak, and will be flavoured with red onion and bound with yoghurt and a frisson of boursin cheese - and they are not served in a ruddy bun. As such is the poet, painter, sculptor or other artist. We are eccentrics, we do not conform with the mundane, but we are misunderstood because others read that because we do not conform with the mundane, we, ipso facto, despise it. This is not the case.

I am lucky. My wife is as mad as I am. We have over 6000 books, magazines, pamphlets and articles. We don't have a lot of friends.

Answer 9

maybe not all poets feel lonely, just the ones you have heard of. to conclude i once read a poem about the road less traveled.

Answer 10

Everyone feels lonely at some point of their lives.

Actually alot ofpeople become really creative because they learned to express their ways when they were in their hard times.
