Being is the essence out of which all things evolve. This blog is an ongoing conversation of being in various facets and areas of life, including the personal and the professional from which relationships of all kinds are formed and teams built in all communities, virtual or real, at home, at work, in politics and at play.

Being a Poet II
The legitimacy of the pen, the illegitimacy of thought, though they are owned, nonetheless, transferred into poems no matter the content or form.
Thanks for identifying a true part of a poet's character.
I always wonder: what's the true meaning of being a poet? I always ask myself am I really a poet? What makes me a poet? (of course besides knowing the rules of writing poetry, sonette vs free verse, haiku, stanzas, etc..).
I never tried to identify my poetry, to be honest sometimes I do. I know that my words have a lot of imagery, symbolism but I never intended it to do so. I even start with an idea and by the time I finish the poem it turns to be something else. I agree that our thoughts, emotions and experience in life guide us towards the hidden words in the subconscious.
Hi Khaled - As Cynthia's work, yours too defy category. But what is for certain is that your words paint beautiful moving images, offer meaning, and tell a story of life, love and death, physically and metaphysically. For this, I thank you. I love popping into your blog. You are a wonderful writer.
