Please Just Keep All of Your Writings and All of Your Poetry Both Plain and Also Simple

Why should both writers and/or poets just keep their writings and/or their poetry just plain and simply easy to understand? What if you try to be so creative and poetic but your readers do not understand a single word that you have written? Just how long would your audience remain both loyal and also faithful to you? Before they decided they would replace you with someone brand new? The answer is very clear and concise and be expressed in just five short and simple words, "not very long at all." People because of their fleshly and earthly sinful natures have a relatively short memory's retention span. Frequently forgetting what they have just read, and/or what they have just heard for a extremely short period of time. Before their learned information recedes into their long term memory banks, where it mainly remains dormant, but can become reactivated and transferred into your short term memory bank. This combination poetic/writer realizes that some forms of the art form of poetry can also be symbolic, with only the poet plainly understanding the poet's method and his/her medium beyond their written/and or spoken word. What about abstract or pop art artistic work that resembles some thing that could be done by a very small artistic child? What applies to poetry likewise can also apply to art work. Leaving their: readers, listeners, observers to play a guessing game to interpret the hidden message carefully concealed inside of its creator's highly secretive mediums. All because their message is also their medium and their medium likewise also becomes their message. This is not a newer concept from this writer but used to be a well know method of communications. There is both the sender and the receiver; the hearer and the listener and the artist and the artistic observer. all using their chosen methods of communication and self expressionism. What point is this writer trying to make? Quiet simply both the message and the channels of open or shut communications. If there is no mutual meeting of the minds there can be no contract between the two participating parties of the first and the second part. And if there is an existing contractual written and/or oral contract, it is rendered nonrenewable and/or both null and void. Please try to avoid: Too many repetitive words, run on sentences and run on paragraphs. Unless, you are writing a short story or a novel and such methods are needed.

wise words indeed Roxanne, to be honest I 'switch off' if I try to read a poem that only the author understands or I need a dictionary to understand - they may think themselves intellectually supreme over the likes of me who writes what is deemed as poop poetry but at the end of the day we are all different and have our own styles. hugs Jan xx
