Greetings Faux Poets!
I am Faux Poe, your igniter host, you are my writer ghosts, welcome, wired, inspired, miles from retired writers to: Lecture 18: Faux Poet: Internal Infighting, External Righting: If Your Words can Make Them Feel, Write not to Harm, but Them Disarm--so They can Heal--How to Scrawl to Share Your Life and Save Theirs.
When you write poetry, you may feel a slave to the emotional overseer, you may feel but a slight schooner in a malevolent maelstrom, just a passenger in worldly transport, but you are always the master, the captain, the driver. You are in control of what you write, how you write and how much time you spend perfecting that piece, mastering your message and conveying the crux of your telling, thorough takeaway. You are perennially offered the option to delve so deeply into your own mind, thoughts and the written reflections of the same that you doubt your ability to surface or become so demoralized that you question the value of the very thing you have pledged to perform: placing your pen to page or finger tips to type. Use your ledger of life experiences to educate, to entertain to floor and awaken, but do not harm yourself, or your reader in the process.
Remember: "It is only in the vast, black dark you just might glean a spark and use that illumination to add elation to the bleak, the dim, the stark."

Fact Check Follow Up: Adverbs often fail to evoke strong emotional responses because they tend to "tell" rather than "show" how something happened. They modify verbs and adjectives, providing details about the manner or degree of an action or description, but without specific sensory details, readers may not fully connect with the emotion being conveyed.
