I see my poetry as a recreational pursuit with no restrictions. I do it purely for enjoyment not kudos, It is gratifying when it is liked and enjoyed. Like my sculpture, I create for me, no other. I just happened to have a sheet with 38 lines and I filled it. It gave you no satisfaction, but I enjoyed doing it and that is what counts. Let's face it, in posting on this site we are playing minor league, very few posts would cut the mustard in the world of poetry publishing. It's the enjoyment that matters, at least for me.
