Truth Or Consequences

Dear poets, In a class of poetry we discussed the truthfulness of what we write I realized that some (many) poets write only about what actually happened and all their details are accurate I just write I add on and take away assume different personalites combine, etc Poetic license, creativity, imagination, exaggeration I apologize for misleading in any way I mixed up the worlds and didn't realize how SERIOUS an issue it was I knew people made little addendums and comments but thought they were just kindnesses not neccesities some poems are obvious fiction hyperbole etc but I vow to be more careful now to comment upon the differences
