Some condemn my poems with scorn Blow their trumpets like a fog horn At the end of the day Who cares what they may say I ignore their efforts and yawn! 7/11/18

Ahh, stuff 'em , Jan- remember why you started writing in the first place, and you have more fans than fusspots anyway. Keep on trucking and don't bother ducking. Viv x

I was kickstarted into writing by hubbies cancer and believe me Mr Viv I doubt I'd have got through relatively unscathed without having a way to dump my poop so to speak lol:-) I will let the poop flow until the constipation of life gets to me lol:-) hugs jan xx

Jan, this one made me smile. It is true that a poet's heart spills onto paper in spite of others. Well done!

I write to try and amuse and entertain with my silly lines Connie, there is so much stuffy poetry that only the writer knows what it means, I just try and bring a little fun to the site:-) hugs jan xx

Amen Jan.. at the end of the day what matters is being true to yourself right? Others can be quick to judge with limited facts and self-righteous venom. Ignore them all. Your true friends see the clever skill behind the work. And even the rare times when they may not, they give you the benefit of the doubt and come to you first. I love you and will always appreciate your work! Your frienship is the world!

They just Blow Jan. Probably can't afford an actual fan. But you ever so right to just not give a damn. They Blow

No need to stifle those yawns, Jan. Those who blow their horns the loudest have the least of which to be proudest. Forgive the grammar, I am stretching poetic license to its limit.
