R'Owl, I forget that email doesn't allow for irony------I was joking! See
this: <ggg>!
Can't figure out what you mean by your "inability to take into account the
people" you're talking to........or what that means for your poetry. I'm
not sure I'd want you to change, since I like (much of) your poetry as it
is.
One thing that seldom can be said about a person's poems: They're so
different from one another. It's true about your works, though, as I've
read them over a span of more than 3 years on petc. Some might say that a
poet whose work varies so often and so much in tone, format, and style has
"not yet found" her or his "voice". I disagree rather violently, though
p'raps it can be said about some poets at some times. The key, of course, is
whether the poems WORK. And most of yours do, IM(never)HO.
