does anyone write peoms which they don't want to share.....like to keep a bit for yourslef.....like to keep something private......to shore against disclosure......something to be discovered post-humously......jus something......so that they don't get everything? I'm not asking you to post them, but I am so open.....basically, there would be nothing left for me, if I didn't try to hold something back and keep it to myself......almost like revenge on you guys for seeing my most personal stuff......anyone else?
....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    YES, except not with poetry because I don't write poetry, but other things, little things, sentences here and there that mean so much to me and are so good that there's no way I'd let them out into the world.

    it's so liberating to not be completely upfront about everything.....normally I'm really open.....cos I don't know any1, but the shell thing is good......hehehehehheeh.....

    Well, it's actually new for me to let anything I write or think is important come out. So, yeah, I hold a lot in my pocket. :)

    all my poetry posts, with the exception of maybe the first two or three, have been nothing more than opening a new thread and letting it go.

    the more intricately crafted and deeply personal moments, i've kept to myself. i can only think of a handful of people i'd feel comfortable sharing them with....even at that it would be pretty frightening to let go of.

    I share pretty much everything else, so only a few people get to see my poems, and only some poems at that. I like keeping it mine.
    I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

    i can only say that i have poems i haven't written which are bitter left forgitten the witch of theezth i had not yet dreamt lest i break down and cry .. i just wanna feel
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    These days, I'm not inclined to share anything until I'm satisfied it's either just throwaway doggerel or something that's of any consequence.

    But you break like a little girl.

    most of the time....I'm very relaxed.....but if I get upset.....I use exacting punctuation.....and am pretty stressed.....I jus started my job editing on Monday, and I'm pleased to say......that I am doing a brilliant job.....and could pretty much edit the company out of existence......I hope to be their best editor, and get promoted.....and I really think that seeing as I have to be so exact for my work, I shouldn't have to bother when I'm relaxing......I love punctuation, and its ability to clarify meaning, but I will be fecked if I have to bloody use a comma every few seconds when I write on teh intahweb......plus....I really do think that people on this section are more real......than some other sections......jus cos they post their peom.....nad wait for good or bad comments.....and they don't engage in petty politics.....plus we're quite friendly amongst ourselves, without being camp....hehehheeh

    :) @ Finsbury and ISN.
    I don't really share much at all here or anywhere. Mostly cos most of the stuff is still in my head or on bits of scrappy paper spread all over the house which eventually get lost. Also, the few times I'm had the temerity to share something here no one's commented so I assumed it was crap (even though to me it still meant something). ie You're all a pack of bastards. :)

    I'm too ugly and hairy to camp
    I'm more likely to pass for a tramp
    and by tramp I mean yoke
    and by yoke I mean bloke
