Illyanna's Dark Poetry

I wish people would quit picking on my sister. She is a wonderful writer and I know her
work is dark and creepy but that is who she is. She writes to entertain and to take you
places that make you uncomfortable. If you read her poems and you get the chills she has
done what she set out to do! If it creeps you out to much then when you see the name
Illyanna De La Keur then don't read it. This is a place where we all can demonstrate our
creativity and I would hate for her to remove her work and quit writing. Illyanna is a
writer that is an acquired taste and if not for her and my other sister I would never have
explored my own talent so please lay off on telling her to change her subject matter.

We should all be free to choose our subject matter, Kristy. The right to free speech is in the constitution. If we read something we don't like, we should simply ignore it and move along to something else. I'm really sorry your sister is getting bad comments. I believe if we have nothing constructive to say, we should say nothing at all. I'm glad you're speaking out! Carolyn

You go, girl...defend your sister. And my curiosity is peaked...I'm gong to read one of her poems. Keep writing. Lovingly, Dane
