Are You a Poet? or A Writer? do you let people read it or only for your eyes?

Answer 1

can you read the words i write?
do you feel them as deeply as i do?
some are published, some are in cards,
this one i have written for you.

Some times i hide my words,
and read them again years away
and i remember the feelings my words held
and relive the moment, emotion, or entire day

most times i realize
that my rhyming stinks
lol...and it was a huge waste
of time and ink!!!

Answer 2

I'm both a poet and a writer. I'm also a proofreader, copy editor, editor and bilingual educational publishing consultant. When I'm paid by publishers to write, I don't feel like the work really belongs to me in the first place, so I have no attachment issues.

When I use pen and paper, I tend to destroy everything once I've thus expunged it from my consciousness. The typed stuff tends to get saved. A few close friends (and fellow editors) are kind enough to read my original work when asked.

Answer 3

I've been writing poems sense I can remember...my first one I that I can remember was when I was 8, I think. I'm also in the middle of my first book, and so far I think its pretty good. But, the thing with me is that when it comes time to show somebody my work I suddenly see all these improvements that I can make. So, no I usually don't let people see my work until I'm sure its perfect, and even then its usually only my mom or my granny (depending on what it is about).

Answer 4

I'm both, currently I am hiding my first collection of poetry because it's not copyrighted yet and I'd hate for it to fall into the wrong hands. I do write things that I let others read, I just recently wrote an essay that was published in a Florida Newspaper and everyone in town is talking about it. I'm kind of shy about my writing though, I just like to let the writing itself do the talking and I don't have much left to say about it. My writing speaks for itself.

Answer 5

I am a published poet, so yes I allow people to read some of my poetry. I also write, and am looking forward to finishing a few projects that I started last winter.

Answer 6

I am a writer, a wannabe novelist. I let one person read my stuff but it is mostly just for me. It is fun and silly, just snippets of future possible novels. At this point I am in such a good place that i don't want to open myself to unnecessary criticism.

Answer 7

I am very much a writer, I've written poetry since I was a kid, recently been writing fanfic, and I let...my favorite people read it :)

Answer 8

I've been writing a lot of poems lately. I let people see them sometimes, but there are some that are personal, and that only I can understand...

Answer 9

I do both, but only a few have seen my work.

Answer 10

Im both and i only let certain people read it...
