Do you write more poetry than you read?

[YasminTiara]

Okay so I am really big on writing poetry and short stories and stuff like that? Are you into it too? Do you write poetry? What kind? What about? Tell me. I'd like to know. Maybe we could share some stuff about our writing.

I do indeed write poetry, and by Googling JOSIE'S POEMS you can see what I write. I'm just about to have a great deal published (5 books), and they are first and foremost going into schools as they are with an educational publisher. What I really like is poetry written with metre and with rhyme - in other words, poetry such as was written well before free verse came into existence. I feel that the magic has been taken out of it when they dropped this element. I hope you enjoy reading my work.

i think i don't have much grip on writing poetry...
that's why i prefer reading poetry...

[Mairin]

I love to write poetry, but I'm afraid I too have not read much. I've always wanted to read more poetry so that I could improve my own, but don't quite know where to start. Does anyone have any recommendations for poets? I do tend to prefer classical literature, but I would be open to modern poets as well.

I would rather write poetry than read. Reading poetry is too dull and boring for me.

i understand where your comming from. I do write alot more than i read. I guess its more fun expressing yourself because you are connecting with what is being written. When reading other people's work its harder to have that personal relationship, just try to remember that whoever wrote it is sharing a part of who they are in their work as well : )

I read more poems than making my own. I find it more interesting for they are classic poets.

I write poetry occasionally but not actually a fan of reading other works. I much rather read a story or an interesting interview. However, I find writing poetry relaxing and gets me in the mood to write other things.

[UncalledBank]

I write more due to school than I read. wish I would read more though.

[yapashley]

I actually read more than I write poetry! I haven't written a poetry in a long while. This forum actually wants me to get back to it.

Personally, I write poetry whenever I feel like the words flow through me, whenever that gut feeling pushes me out of bed and start writing. Reading is more convenient and a lot easier than writing your own poem, nevertheless I try every day to be poetic. I once read in Tumblr about continuing writing poetry every day and accept the fact that sometimes what you write might not be palatable. Hence it is not a sign for you to stop trying, it tells me to keep writing and improve. Sometimes, reading about poetry and other people's works are as tiresome as creating your own piece. Words tend to be different when comprehended in the point of view of either end. Though more often than not, I know by heart that authors write as much as for themselves as for their readers.

I read more than I write but quite often i find myself composing a line in my head whilst reading a poem.
