A Poetic Message

You can't always hope to know what's in my mind, but if there's something that suits you - that's fine; don't write just for you, your readers like something, be gracious, accept defeat, don't think they need therapy. There's a thing about English, some others think better, but it's not just grammar, rather colloquial inferences, of which they lack understanding and all the nuances, they're important, whether you think they're trite or not. I do not claim to know all things and neither should you, the love shines through, don't be critical of a stupid typo; I won a competition in white, gold and indigo blue, to think that some poets had respect for what I do. I'll give you leeway but next time I won't be so lenient, if you're worried about rhyming, don't because it's convenient,

Interesting point of view. Yes, in different parts of each country there are the different dialects or accents that come into play with reading poetry. I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for sharing. Sara
