I do both Evelyn. I love mountains but I climb them in my dreams, creating images in my brain. With poetry I have to work much harder to get the results I want.
I could have been a painter. I might still be one day.
Because once you've climbed one mountain you have climbed them all Poetry is a different creation every time you take your pen onto paper, and your mind releases itself of words put together you never thought possible, making it a thing of beauty for others to see. You just created your own mountain for others to climb. Bri.
