Annick Yerem : part two

What do you find most difficult about writing poetry?

That is such a good question, it really made me think about the whole process. I don´t find it difficult. If anything, I find the process of getting it out in the world difficult, but I am slowly learning that there are so many ways of doing just that. To me, it´s a thing of beauty when a ´gift-poem` is suddenly there, when all I have to do is catch the words before they leave. Some poems are hard work, some are rubbish, some I love even years later. The difficult thing may be to not define your self-worth by it. But that would a very different question and a very long answer.
