I would hope that anyone who reads my poetry understands that I write what comes to my mind and it doesn't mean I'm the reality of the words. I mean that just because I write about alcoholism does not mean I am the character in the poems. I write about those I've known and those I know and a very wide grouping that is of sinners and saints, those who know who and where they are going and those who are completely lost. I am empathic. I write in the first person because I feel the reality of what I am writing about. Like Dean Martin pretending to be drunk while performing I am not what it may seem. Just a thought as I know some out there who read what I write see the words and not the art or the understanding of the problem I am commenting on, nor do they understand that the comment is for the purpose of illustration and not my own personal reality.

Thank you so much for this post!
It’s so lovely to know that people are reading my site, and taking an interest!
I hope you have a lovely day! ☺️
It is nice to know that people are looking and reading. It is not fun to sit and do this and get zero results. I understand that very well. I’m tgrying to develop a base to market my books thru, just like you are doing with your photography. BUT it is very important to me as a writer (as I am sure it is with you as a photographer) that people are looking, reading, sharing, and caring. I drop into a depression when I think no one is looking at my work. I’m sure you do as well. You have a great site and obviously have done a lot of planning with it. So, good job. I hope you have a nice Christmas and a great upcomming New Year.
