Mediocrity

Write a poem show poetic flare! But not too deep not too bright surface is easier to share – you can take a reader to water... but, Lord!~ you can make one drink – too complicated will just make a lazy eye blink….

Poetry should be enjoyable, not too complicated to wrack the brain. Well said, dear friend.

Only so much time in a day, with many responsibilities. When I write a poem that people seem not to understand or think worthy of a comment, I say to myself then, my poem has failed -- try again.
