A wee thought here....
When you find a poet you feel in tune with, it is because it eminates something from within yourSELF. The words are stating merely what you wish yourself you could say.
True love cannot be covered by any words, none have been invented that can really qualify the emotions, however, a poet who can relate to nearly, like Lina, keeps the soul happy.
Apart from Linda receiving pleasure from the fact her words are loved by so many, I am sure like most poets, what would have inspired her and pleased her the most, was if she could be the catalyst to all the poets within us coming out from within ourSELVES.
Read Linda's, then let yours flow. Add beautiful words to the universe rather than just sharing the same ones time and time again. If I were a poet that is what would make me the most proud of my work, if it could bring out the poet in others ie. the day another beautiful and understanding poet emerges and they say in the introduction to their book "I got my inspiration to write from within from Linda Goodman".
The best way to start is to immediately write down your own words and feelings right after reading a poem which touches you, by Linda. Then make that into a poem....thus..
Even better leaving them till the next day
When you need some special words to say
Go to sleep asking for the words to flow
Wake up.......and off you go!
