    In Hindi literature, Poetry is categorised by the emotions (Called Rus) it evokes! So reading poetry suited to your mood can pull you up from depths despair, charge you up, bring to your senses, wake you up to the beauty around you etc etc. Poetry of your kind just delights the heart! :))

    I have been taught three things about writing. From essays I was taught to communicate with clarity. From fiction I was taught the goal of suspension of disbelief. From poetry I was taught the art of distillation. I have found that nobody ever really understands each other. (There goes clarity.) I have learned that reality is a conspiracy and that when things dovetail it means they are false (there goes my belief in suspension of disbelief.) condensation is all I have left. It better not be false.

    Well cassie, it's a great question, and you know the answer

    if you remember our conversations early on when I came

    onto Yahoo Answers and YAP must be about 7 years now.

    For some reason you distanced yourself from me, and that's

    okay- sure I did something stupid.

    For me, in many ways it saved my life. Not that I would have

    lost it; but I was a former athlete that 20 years ago got injured

    and you could call me the bionic man, but am not bionic at all--

    and just put back together, but had a lot taken away, big life

    change to family, finances et.al. No doubt had depression, and

    then I came upon Yahoo Answers, gave it a try, and found out

    by accident I liked to write, after all these years not writing a poem

    since grade school.

    I know I'm not that good, but I have learned a lot, from people here

    especially, some who have moved on. I think I improved a lot am

    at least wrote a few good things. I owe a lot to many people

    here, including you. Too, you recently reached out to me, and I

    appreciate that, and am sorry if I lost your trust.

    Right now I can't write at all, and it does not feel good. There are

    too many distractions but this is one thing I never wanted to let go

    of, and it looks like I have.

    Best wishes to you.

    The simple act of crafting written-works requiring careful word selection (i.e. poems) has improved my letter-writing, emailing, and overall communication. I have become more concise, more eloquent, and I pay more attention to detail. It's made me lots better at punctuation, too (still not perfect). I'll have random conversations with friends and within the dialog discover usable metaphors that I never would have noticed before. And it has changed considerably the way I see the physical landscape. And my brain-meat work reel good too, now.

    It allowed me to recognize what fills the gap between the scientific notion of what is "real" and the spiritual notion of what is "true"..
