Thanks for sharing Val's poem, Brenda. It was a refreshing piece of truth.
Your welcome Doris.
Val always puts stuff out there for us.
Val...
It's hard to please everyone, but I believe we have a message to deliver.
I recently wrote a poem that was accepted & published...
Only to get comments like...
I'm amazed you were brave enough to write this one.
To me...if I feel it, then I'm writing it.
Thanks for sharing Val’s poem, Brenda. He is really on a roll and I am managing to read about every second one he publishes.
Sometimes we just have to write what inspires us, or what we feel compelled to write. If it makes people uncomfortable so be it. You can never please everyone and some will be downright offended. It is possible that what we write is unappealing to the general reading public, but we can’t force anyone to read. I write to please myself first and if I’m happy I’ll share it. Rarely do I even consider if what I write will offend anyone though.
The press have lost a lot of creditability in recent years, and rightly so.
