I agree as well. It's not just the emotions of the poet when they write the poem in play, but the reader as well. I find the more challenging (to read) poems the ones who can appeal to different emotions depending on how or even when they're read. One a friend recommended (unfortunately, she forgot to give me the name so I'll chase her once she's off the aeroplane) that can be read top to bottom or bottom to top, and either cheery or angsty depending on which way around it's read. It's hard to imagine an emotional state in which the poet could have pulled that off - which suggests that level of poetry writing is not only about putting emotions aside, but wearing them like an actor wears different roles. Then again, there are lots of ways to write poetry, just as there are lots of ways to write novels and some people find their best work when they're writing with their emotions, and others find their emotions limit them...zero_macabre wrote:Well said! I agree with you. It is definitely possible to write poetry that contrasts with your current emotions at that time, but I think most poets find it easier to write poetry which relates to their emotions. If poets are writing poetry of a certain theme, perhaps it will be easier to put their emotions aside and write.cashflower1 wrote:I believe that the possibilities are endless but only once you have mastered the art of putting your emotions to one side, for as in story telling, poetry is vast and can hold no bounds once you are able to drift away into another dimension. I have often privately wrote poetry which has recently reflected my own inner emotions, at times dark and deep and other times humourous and almost insane.
The secret I personally believe is escapism, returning to one's childhood imagination and the wonderful world of creativity....as in storytelling , put yourself there, live it and breathe it, believe in it, and just let it flow.

I agree wit this. I think once the poet is able to write out of his or her own emotions then he/ she then becomes masterful of his own art.owensbook wrote:I think it makes it rather challenging to write beyond ones current emotion felt in the moment. However, I believe when you can construct a work of poetry beyond your emotion of feeling, you may then be in store for it being your best work ever composed - simply because it is out of the norm.
