I had not heard of Galina Granovska before, but I think she is a writer and translator. Hopefully she will come back to me!

И закрылась в душе вдохновения дверца.<br /><br />Я думал, что я поэт с пером золотым и лёгким,<br />Но сейчас как-то вдруг я устал, я стал стар, ослабели и строки.<br />Я думал, что я поэт. Но перо моё бесполезно теперь и сродни обузе,<br />Со слезами в глазах шепчу я моей подавленной музе.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239570004475261479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629436772073396833.post-89075783636341111002014-11-21T15:02:54.736-08:002014-11-21T15:02:54.736-08:00Hi Sandra!

Reading other people's beautiful poetry can either discourage us (for we think that we'll never be able to reach those standards) or else it will help us to push onward with fresh impetus.
