How does it work? You say. I donât see even half of the things you mention. Frankly, it seems too ambitious. To get all of those ideas over to your readers, even the extra-smart readers - well, if you do it, hats off.
I sometimes think that a poem I have posted, like âIn Ethelâs Honor,â is easy to understand. My fear in that one was that everyone would find it too simple and lacking any importance. As it turns out, my clear thoughts were not so clearly expressed, and most people misunderstood at least part of it. All I was trying to show is that he was a persevering man who did what he could. Sometimes I intend double meanings, even triple meanings; but Iâm beginning to think that if I get just one simple idea across, the poem is a success.
