On Being the Real You

ON BEING THE REAL YOU No matter what it takes. Otherwise, your poetry is a pure fake! I know baloney when I read it. It's so mediocre, and has no "you" in it. Hiding behind veils, you all know the ones you use. I know the exact forms you choose.. A warm salute to all who show who they really are. Writing for the pure joy of it, not here to get gold stars. Congratulations 9/7/2021

Being true to oneself is something we all should be doing each and every day. Writing poetry is a vehicle for that self expression.

I care about mankind and call out wrongdoings in many of my poems, I hope it shows. Tom

No honesty...no poetry -- it is that simple. Very directly and poignantly stated my friend. Will not fall on deaf ears I pray.
