Although I really liked your story, I most identified with PS 1 & 3. I am not a poet by any stretch and I don't believe I have it in me. However, I can write and if I am to believe what others say, compellingly. But compelling prose is not the same as poetry.
Blogging (and writing generally) for me allows my mind to fully explore not just what I want to say, but how best to say it. The actual act of writing is transformative and I never know what will come out the other side.
