Hi Gem.,
Thanks, Yes I just was a tad sad when I wrote this
last night BUT know that I am not meaning to critique
anything or one and very much like what you said here
"....So that I may learn how to adapt my style that pleases more people than just me.
Real poets write to please others as well as themselves,..."
 And I do think that sometimes we momentarily
lose our humour and take oneself a tad too seriously and
then take it out on others, including that I do this
myself of course:-)
So this poem above is perhaps an ode to reflection and
humour and poets working together to help each other each
better their various styles and I thank you for
your always valuable thoughts!!! They are well received
and appreciated!!! And yes, you are so correct, any
Artist does so like to be appreciated for the work
they do! SuSanne
