The Darker Side Of Poetry
I have been having the time of my life: working at a job I love, filming videos, helping people grow to do what they want to do, sharing stories and ideas with others, creating an environment for people to feel a part of a community, and writing to my heart's content and having an endless flow of creativity.

Do you write poetry? Can you make money from writing poems? The answer is yes. I hadn't thought about it until I wrote a collection of poems.

Matthew DonnellonPublished 4 years ago in PoetsA Series of Haiku's Poems
A long time ago in middle school (around 2008-2009)... I remember doing a week-long project of writing poems in my English class. Initially, I hated the idea of writing poems and honestly thought it was quite a useless project to do. However, it wasn't until the middle of the week when we started working on Japanese poems, like Haikus and Tankas, that I started to be more interested in our poetry project. Unfortunately, I didn't keep my original poems from this school project and they are forever lost in some magical landfill off in the abyss. Yup, you heard me! I basically threw all of my middle school project of poem week away in the trash. Such a waste of good hard work of writing poems. My stupidity... I think back on it and realize that it was kind of dumb trashing it, but I was pretty much a goth girl who didn't care at the time. "Why keep hold of your middle school work with you, forever?" For days like this when you want to recall old memories, of course!

Vicki LucasPublished 4 years ago in PoetsWriting Erotic Poetry for a Balanced Audience
So I was talking with some folks on Twitter not too long ago about my poetic style. One of my followers pointed out that women buy a lot of erotic literature, but are not quick to purchase such material from male writers. I found that quite interesting. In my estimation, there is a difference in the poetry put out by women versus that put out by men, but still, erotica is erotica right? It’s like pornography a bit. You like it or you don’t. Even with that, I have women friends who will watch videos directed by men just as much as they will watch those directed by women. So why isn’t the same attentiveness given to male poets?
