Good analysis, 76669.

I've read far too much poetry that is nothing but the egocentric rantings of a dis-eased mind. These types of poems may be therapeutic to the author but are of little value to the reader.

I do have a lady friend who writes beautiful, descriptive nature poems celebrating the western and pacific northwest USA states she has lived in. These are enjoyable to read.

If by chance she has written any poems about her abusive marriage, ugly divorce and other men who have let her down, then
she is wise enough not to post them for public consumption since she realizes they are of no value to anyone but herself.
