I must be an angry noncomformist or have delusions of grandeur. I don't want people to know what I say, just as I want G-d to hear me. Thanks again and I am humbbled by your prescense.

I'm glad you took my comments in the spirit intended. Thank you for that.
Some points occurred to me after I'd finished that last comment, which is:-
1 Why do we write?
2 What do we hope to achieve?
3 What do we hope to get out of it?
4 Who are we writing for?
The first one's pretty obvious, I think. We write because we either want to or have to
Second, Fame,? Acclaim? Esteem? I think most definitely all three.
Third, not money in blogit certainly ; nor elsewhere where poetry's concerned! So we come backto 2, don't we?
So, which of these do you want, shoie? It must be 2, otherwise you wouldn't lament the absence of comments, would you?
So, what's to do?
Go on as you do?
Write something that you know is going to be popular, and get you comments?
God, this is gettng like a correspondence course, isn't it? BE A POET! EARN MILLIONS! GET FAMOUS! GET SNOWED UNDER WITH COMMENTS! HAVE OLD DUDES TEAR YOUR WORK TO PIECES!
All for $39.95!!
You've got to write as you feel ; but give them 'em what they want, and see if they like it
Is this helpful?
My secretary will sendmy bill next weekLOL

Thanks again
Sir:
How nice of you to spend significabt time, evaluating and commenting on my let us say, philosophical approach to life. I have no idea what I am doing, I do believe that I speak from some integrity and wisdom. I am sorry that you don't understand my import but I don't either. I think perhaps that I indulge in the Mstical and therefore pass by concreteness and logic. I am also disappointed that you, an outstanding, published author can't see something special in my work. I will continue until either i have exhausted myself or I have no more readership. I sincerely appreciate your time and interestm and hope to remain in contact with you.
sincerely,
fred
