Hi Katy, if you are just want to post a straight text with nothing fancy then click on the text editor at the top right of your message box or you can try not leaving any spaces between each line...that usually cuts down on those annoying little things. Good poem btw.

Hi lb, Thanks!! Now I know. Well I just post my poems in a plain format, so that's no problem. Ummm I tried not leaving spaces but for some reason it didn't work. Thank you. Katy |

Hi Emma, I seem to be writing and making lots of arty things recently, but finding it hard to like any of it. I'm not always so thoughtful - I was about to say that when I'm not I don't think people understand what I'm going on about - because my thoughts jump, but I don't think they do that much anyway. Katy |

Hi Clive, Thanks. As I said to Emma, I've been finding it difficult to like what I'm writing at the moment - it's more of a 'chill out' thing than anything else, lol. But hopefully once my exams are over I can start having a go at some more stories and things. Katy |

I felt a yearning to be heard in this piece, Katy, almost a frustration with the voids between being understood in the art of communication, probably way off track...I do that sometimes, read too deeply. A poem I enjoyed. BTW Katy, a lot of the poets have either had pieces published or have been reading a great deal more than poetry boards, some for longer than you have been on this earth, so try not to think people don't understand your work 'if' they 'don't seem' get it in one, it is quite interesting to read a piece which may have more than just one interpretation. And about your <op> <op> signs, you can delete them at the end of each line, simply by highlighting the end of the line by drawing your mouse from right to left along to the end of the typed line, you will bring the <op>s up as dark shaded boxes and then you can either use the cut icon (scissors) above or delete. The icon bar offers the ablity to edit and sometimes if the curser deletes back to the chosen text and then you type in again as I have done, it follows as desired,or, one can highlight the whole poem and choose another text/font, that usually unifies the print, Zy I know why we choose we see the good first impression, though I can’t understand don’t we judge initially, before we really see? �?/FONT> Surely, the wrong approach? Then you know the waiting begins ‘til the cracks appear, the wallpaper left unhung. Can’t decide whether I should ignore; sometimes, with some people, some gaps are figures of art. And how I love art: not sometimes, always. . But then you grow tired, you feel that need to talk, a need to reassure and they don’t help you. That ‘spark�?people talk of does die out. Perhaps I’ve just not found the immortal art. Sometimes, |

Hi Zy, Yes, it's partly that, but also the feeling of understanding people - this was a poem which didn't actually really have another meaning. I think the two things go together. I don't quite know whether you mean I don't value other poets' work? I certainly do appreciate it though - and if you think that, then I'm worried about what I've done that could provoke such thought. I think so, it shows it's not just a 'this is it' piece. Thank you, I'll try that next time I begin a thread. Katy |

Hello Katy, noooo, not others work, yours, and I quote from a reply above... "I'm not always so thoughtful - I was about to say that when I'm not I don't think people understand what I'm going on about - because my thoughts jump, but I don't think they do that much anyway." Unquote. I meant you put your work down before you give some a chance to say whatever they felt from your work. You should give everyone the benefit of perhaps getting something out of your writing. I know I do, you write some very good pieces. I think you lack confidence a little in that your jumping thoughts (as you call them, lol) are still very inspirational. Without being the 'this is it' piece, many pieces are still worthwhile. Glad to be of help, Katy, the edit bar is very useful once you get used to it, Zydha |

always interesting, I always look forward to your poems. You deal with feelings, with people and always original, it seems. opps used "always" 3 times. I always seem to do that. Steve |

Hi Zy (again!) Phew! (Relief!) I did honestly get quite concerned before. I think it's just my personality and how I always expect more than what is possible. Because everything can always be improved (at least from one person's view), my work never seems strong enough for me. It's like a sort of impatience I suppose. I'll try it out next time, and thanks for the reassurance. Katy |

Hi Steve, Perhaps you like certainty...I don't know..I'm assuming that from your repetition... I feel like often it's a sort of longing expressed for knowledge of some kind - rather than an explanation or example of knowledge. I don't think I know enough about the world yet. Thank you, Katy |
