For me, writing poetry is like drinking water or coffee, or like breathing air. It is just something I have an inner need to do. If I didn't have the need, I'd probably stop. Whether or not I'll ever be considered a good poet -I still have a need to write. I'm sure many of us process our thoughts about the world in verse in our minds. But that's really not an answer to your question. I think it is as good a time as any to be alive and to be a poet.
