I am not here for any of the following reasons...

I am not here to win gold awards.
I am not here to snare points from comments.
I am not here to write for the sake of being read.
I am not here to show my power of the pen.
I am not here to revel in glowing praises.
I am not here to defend my virulent criticism.
I am not here to make myself heard.
I am not here to relieve my frustrations.
I am not here to express my opinions.

I am here to read the words of my world.
I am here to enrich myself.

I am here to thank all of you for being here.

    Great!!!

    Winning trophies and gathering points don't help us in the long run. We are here to learn more than what we already know.

    As for me I am also here to relax and let my tensions release.

    Well said Santhosh!!!

    Love from India - Joel -

    Amen, Brother. Thou art a wise disciple of the sane, centered, fulfilled and mature revelers, who have trod a distance down the road of life.

    I agree with you... winning trophies doesn't mean anything... it's down to one person's judgement... in my opinion every poem has its own charm... I've learnt so much from this site and am still learing... as I said earlier there are many poets on this site who write for pleasure... ie mtpoet... thanx for sharing your honest views and I applause your modesty...
