Stafford What is he saying?

Stafford said something along the lines of “Write something that others may not like but it holds and expression”. Now it could be an expression that you had, even if others do not feel the same way. It is still something for you to remember. Most likely someone will like it and agree with you. What Stafford is saying is write what makes you feel not for others. He wrote just what came to his mind, like what he had learned and felt at a time. Even to express his message he revised his work to make it more meaning full to him, and to get as much emotion as he could out of it. The poem will be read and understood from the point of view of the writer. The reader can have his or her own reaction to it. Stafford strived to write something that made him feel, and allow the reader to decide how they feel about the poem as well. A poem more or less guides you to feel the way the writer does. How poets use their words can affect or emotion of expression of what the poem id referring to. Stafford knows this and shows how and expression can come about with just a small word.

Why not go out and write? Everyone can write its true not everyone is going to be a famous writer and have their work published. But to get your thoughts and feelings down on a page is a no brainer. What Stanford is trying to say is do not let anything keep you from writing. Whatever comes to you write down. It does not have to be for anyone but you. Do not be censored write what you want to no matter what it is. It does not matter who you are whether you like to write or not just what you need to get out let it out.

Most famous writters that we know of  today did not become famous while they were alive. Their work was published after their death. So for them what they wrote was for themselves or in the works. It could even happen to you if you just write what you feel, it may speak to others one day.
