I didn't care much for it because I felt that all 'good' poetry was comprised of Shakespearean proportions. But when I learned that there were so many forms of poetry, and that they often tell a simple story or convey deep emotion is when I fell in love with the art form. Thanks for posting this... and I agree with Natalie!! You are truly SoulPoetry..!! I think we have all had our love/hate relationship with poetry.

I hated poetry by 3rd year... i hated hashing it about and analyzing it. Only now am I getting my love for it back. Thanks Cendrine for writing about this!

And also, indie artists should support each other, but not all have the luxury of time, as they are also busy in their respective lives. Being an indie artist is not a hundred percent our own choice, there are varied reasons why we chose to - to become an indie artist. One apparent reason, we want to come out from our shell and share our talent and, hopefully, be recognized in the end. Most indie artists, though, are independent and self-reliant with "do-it-yourself" attitude. We are not tied up with commercial institutions unlike artists with commercial labels and contracts, who are dependent on their managers, publishers and record labels. It is the path that we have chosen; we can’t blame others, the 80%, who prefer to patronize the commoditized and sensationalized creative output because commercial entities spent millions or billions of dollars to promote them. Personally, as an indie artist, I already accepted the fact that I won’t make money in the end, much less expect followers to patronize my creative output. Although, there are success stories of some indie artists who made it there in the mainstream, and I think everyone is also leading to that so long as they have persistence and consistency of their creativity. In the last analysis, an indie artist, with or without commercial success, will remain an indie artist and no one will pressure or blame him or her in the in end. An indie artist can only become accountable if he or she fails to deliver the creative outputs expected from his or her freedom to create. Danny It’s true, most of what you said Cendrine.

I have always believed if we worked TOGETHER, instead of AGAINST each other, we could accomplish so much MORE as artists, and be much more successful overall. The key to success is to GIVE of yourself, and not necessarily MONEY, as you stated Cendrine. How about time? Pass along information about your fellow artists and really appreciate your colleagues work and struggle. Your resources... do you have access to a venue, or a contact your fellow artist can use to help them further reach their goals? Think about it... MOST famous artists got a break from someone already in the place they are striving to achieve - THEY GOT HELP from another artist! If you are not helping your fellow indie artists, it may come down that the right person will NOT help you in the end!! Preach it, Sistah! AMEN, AMEN and AMEN AGAIN, my friend!
