It has always been my greatest ambition to write really good poems but it is almost impossible to judge my own work. I do still write a little but you need to keep your emotions strong and raw and not too middle-aged and controlled to do so! It's finding the time (and energy) to really notice the world and feel it and then convert it into poetry. Not so different from painting I suspect!<br />Jane xxJane the Bookladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674464753702292288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445733437091292485.post-42012393769618864872012-02-24T04:15:41.973+00:002012-02-24T04:15:41.973+00:00Hello Jane
