    Language of the heart?

    Hey Chris. You've graced my page with two very extensive and thoughtful reviews in the last few days and I just wanted to express my thanks. Hopefully I'll have some more time sometime soon to be able to return the compliment. Your comments are always concise, insightful and relevant and I do appreciate them.

    This is a really important poem for me because it was the one which moved me from prose writing to poetry. It did that by basically writing itself. I wrote it in less than five minutes and hadn't a clue what it was really about or where it came from. But that didn't stop it eliciting a powerful emotional response from me and some others. It simply fascinated me.

    So I'm delighted you found so much to comment on, as if it were a carefully sculpted and edited piece. I think poetry is primarily about the language of the heart and allowing the heart to speak, even if we've no idea what it's actually saying or why.

    My very best to you and thank you again. >W<

    I advise against advisors

    Hey Dave, you seem to be quite prolific lately and it's all good stuff. Like the way you tied this one up at the end. As for the message here, my own belief is you can't tell anybody anything if they're not ready to hear it. So unless someone asks for advice don't offer it and avoid those who try and foist it upon you - like you said, they almost always have more problems/baggage than you. Good write.   >W<
