Craziness.<br /><br />And "poets are not writers?" Pshaw. It seems to me poetry was the first respected form of writing, and the mainstay for many of the greats--Shakespeare, Byron, Keats, to name a few.<br /><br />Michele<br /><a href="http://southerncitymysteries.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Emily Dickinson biographer on SouthernCityMysteries</a>JournoMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170364981958685438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-56795055461430303452010-08-25T14:30:30.267-04:002010-08-25T14:30:30.267-04:00I'm surprised any writer would think that.

The sparce way so much emotion can be evoked in so few words.<br /><br />So I come to writing prose with a bit different perspective. Poetry has talk me much about good writing. :-)<br /><br />Like the title of your book, ma'am.<br /><br />Mason, thank you for sharing Sheryl with us and her words of wisdom. :-)~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-12827360155490145962010-08-25T09:19:20.866-04:002010-08-25T09:19:20.866-04:00Poets are indeed masterful writers!Poets are indeed masterful writers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-31744201014137771872010-08-25T08:17:11.636-04:002010-08-25T08:17:11.636-04:00Sheryl, thanks again for posting here today.

I wish I could make words do what you poets make them do! Of course poets are writers! Anyone who uses written words to express ideas is a writer.
