JUNE RAINS: DAY 11: WILLIAMSJI MAVELI WRITES A TRIBUTE POEM TO POETESS MIRELA

Hi Poetess Mirela,

Thanks for your most valuable comments

A successful poetess is one who is continuously engaged with poetry reading and writing, and revising their work. Successful poetesses don't wait until "inspiration" strikes to write a poem, they get to work at their desk, computer, or journal, treating the writing of a poem as the work that it is.

Many successful poets and poetess write early in the morning, while other night-owls find it more effective to stay up late and madly dash out their wild verses. Whatever works for you is appropriate, but it's important to develop a writing routine and stick to it. You don't need to write every day, necessarily, but learn what routine will allow you to produce the best poetry. You are very talented, keep it up, with all the support and love,

Regards WILLIAMSJI MAVELI

Hi Cherie,

Poetry itself rarely generates headlines, and the story perhaps missed in all the uproar over Mirela's stories and poems which is that of the confessionals, to which the Poetess provides an enlightening write. She might not have thought of as writing in a confessional or autobiographical mode, yet it is an obvious one for her chosen subject. (Whether or not it makes for good poetry is another matter.) Confessionalism, despite writer's important role in it, my applause, my appreciation

Regards
