I admire your spunk!

...cool sentiment dear One.

I agree, to me at least, poetry - like love - implies a magical approach to life, quite different from the presently accepted rational way of looking at the world. That is, poetry brings out lifes little nuances. It delights in forming correspondences between events that seem quite seperate to the intellectually-tuned consciousness alone, and reveals undercurrents of usually-concealed actions that we quite ignore when we're most concerned about thinking rationally. Actually, that kind of vision contains its own spontaneous rationality, and often supplies us with answers more satisfying than purely intellectual ones. And yes, your poetry is yours, offered to others, no one is forcing!

Through your poems i see your heart, it's beauty gives me a smile and it's pain brings me tears. anyone capable of feeling could not tell you not to write what you write.
