You see, that's the gold.
It's an art form that is so personal and so broad that it leaves room for personal
taste. Most art follows that path and poetry is no exception.

~ that truly is the beauty of it!!!

I am ashamed to say I haven't read many famous poets..

but I remember a dear old friend of mine who has since passed,
told me that one of my poems was very much like Dylan Thomas..
at the time I didn't know who he was, but man I'm glad I went
searching online for him that day, I really loved what I read of his stuff

and I plan on searching for more people, too...I've read
tens of thousands of wonderful poets/poetess's online, over the years
but its time for me to step out of my little box and learn from the famous
just to enrich my knowledge and help me grow...

you're a treasure...thank you for this blog..

*love from the kiwi*
