Dear reader,

What do you think of this poem?

Is it too direct, do you think?

I did not mention you by name

But of course, I am still talking

(well, in a manner of speaking)

Directly to you


I should say, I'm really grateful

You're taking the time to read this

In addition to the other

Little bits and bobs of feeling

That I send your way, I couldn't ask

That of just anyone I know


And I don't mean to-to overstep

By asking you to do yet more work

But an inherent part of the joy

Of capturing feeling on paper

Is to see the creativity

With which others release it


I guess the poem should have ended there

But it's OK if you didn't catch that

I'm not looking for a 5-star critique

Just your unprofessional opinion
