Writing is about getting happy. 
~Stephen King

“Writing isn’t about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It’s about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other creative art. The water is free. So drink.”

A question that haunts poets, "ISN'T IT DIFFICULT TO FIND ACCEPTANCE?"

What makes the work of a poet most difficult is not that the world doesn't always appreciate what he or she does. We all know how wrong the world can be. It was wrong about Vincent Van Gogh when it refused to purchase his sunflower painting for roughly $125 he was asking, and it is every bit as wrong to pay $35 million or $40 million for it today.

What is most difficult for a poet is to find the time to read and write when there are so many distractions, like making a living and caring for others. But the time set aside for being a poet, even if only for a few moments each day, can be wonderfully happy, full of joyous, solitary discovery.

Here's a passage about the joy of making art from Louise Nevelson's memoir Dawns and Dusks. Nevelson was a sculptor, but what she says about an artist's life can be applied to poetry, too:

"I'd rather work twenty-four hours a day in my studio and come in here and fall down on the bed than do anything I know. Because it is living. It's like pure water; it's living. The essence of living is in doing, and in doing, I have made my world and it's a much better world than I ever saw outside."

The essence of living is in doing, Nevelson suggests, and the essence of being a poet is in the writing, not in the publications or the prizes.

A poet fights for noble ends Before the unjust he never bends

Poetry is rhythmic flow of intense feelings. Prosody and rhetoric provide tools for practicing poetry writing; but very fine feelings, emotions and sentiments can make a good poet. A person with noble heart can easily become a poet. The great poets are noble at heart, love humanity and nature. They try to evolve beauty in all beautiful and ugly looking things, through their language. Traditionalist, Modernist and Post-modernist are just classifications in Time. The stream of poetry is continuous. Indian poetry is enriched by great seers, saints, sages, devotees, thinkers and scholars from various walks of life. From Pre-Vedic, Upanishadic periods till the modern periods, forms have changed but soul of poetry remains the same, uniting the Indian Culture with Universal Culture, preaching Universal Love –

“All those living on the earth are one family”
"~ Vasudeva Kutumbakam”

‘Poets are unacknowledged legislators of the world’
– P.B. Shelly

In a mind filled with filth and quagmire good thoughts bloom like lotus flower and make it beautiful to the beholder
– Mohanchand Patil

Had one not taken birth on the earth,The life in universe should have been short of one’s experience.
– Mohanchand Patil

Poems fall in heart and mind wafting in air up and down like maple leaves land on ground.

~ Cyril Connolly

I strongly recommend this to all aspiring writer. This is how i have come this far as a writer/poet. The question is simple: do you write to please yourself because you like doing it or to please others?

Set on a writing journey, not for others but for yourself. You will reach to a point where you will develop your own personal writing skills and styles for which you will be followed.

Swap these mundane words with their more intellectual counterparts to enhance sophistication in your communication while speaking or writing:

1. Mundane-Prosaic: While "mundane" merely denotes the everyday and ordinary, the word "prosaic" carries an air of intellectualism, suggesting a deeper understanding of the world around us.

2. Boring-Tedious: Rather than labeling something as "boring," refer to it as "tedious." This word implies a laborious and meticulous nature, adding a layer of thoughtfulness to your description.

3. Interesting-Fascinating: While "interesting" is perfectly serviceable, "fascinating" implies a deeper level of engagement and intrigue, painting a picture of absorbing complexity.

4. Smart-Erudite: Move beyond the simple "smart" and opt for "erudite" to convey a sense of profound knowledge and intellectual prowess.

5. Simple-Elementary: Instead of labeling something as "simple," choose "elementary" to imbue the subject with an aura of foundational significance.

6. Good-Exemplary: When praising something as "good," elevate your expression by using "exemplary," suggesting that it sets a standard to be admired and followed.

7. Bad-Deplorable: Swap out the lackluster "bad" for the more intense "deplorable," adding a touch of gravity to your judgment.

8. Nice-Gracious: Infuse your compliments with elegance by replacing "nice" with "gracious," which carries connotations of kindness and refinement.

9. Happy-Euphoric: To describe an elevated state of happiness, "euphoric" imparts a sense of ecstasy and intellectual understanding of emotional experiences.

10. Said-Articulated: In place of the common "said," choose "articulated" to suggest that thoughts and ideas were conveyed with eloquence and precision.
