    That has been a problem throughout history..There are many but only a few get recognized..I had an uncle who wrote and the preacher at the funeral read one of his poems..No one knew that he wrote..That was on my father's side and on my mother's side her sister wrote and one was read at her funeral..Enjoyed reading your truth filled work..Sara

    :-) I am the exact opposite: Rich poet with not a bean to my name.... I see that you are from Skipton. I visited the ruined castle some years ago with my children. We loved the history of the town. Love, Suzette
