One Perspective

vocabulary, jaded, sad, tired, honesty, real deal, poet, poetess, writer, blahs, tongue in cheek,

Languid

A word that conjures up a hot southern afternoon

spent with a belly full of fried chicken and a julep

It is a rich word voluptuous and yet repulsive in implication of 

overindulgence

Carrying along the fragrance of jasmine and the growls of a panther sitting in a tree

While the reader chews on a drumstick and opens their top button..

It is the kind of word writers love to use and to spin off

In mindless trivial ways to bedazzle and add flavor

To do the poetic version of the two step and

will leave the poor soul still starving and empty

The writer that is honest and open

Writing with truth and veracity

Baring their intent in raw and non flowery language

Be it an explosion of inspiration from the Gods it will
Come under the critical and jaundiced eye of sour grapes

For is not inspiration from angels or Gods as worthy of praise

As the labored and chiseled work of prose that echoes with pedigree

Yes I have said it 

I will say it again

I have no fear of a bigger authority or power

I have no fear of the Poetess Goddess of War

I am just standing up for all the writers out there 

Just trying to get by and write

It is hard enough some days to drag yourself back here 

And put yourself back on page

After being ignored or slighted by commercial enthusiasm and 

self seeking hot air blusterers self important to an extreme

I say,
 Over reacting and ill inclined

you might say...

I think,  I will just not say anymore.

tho i am here only to express and grow and improve ..i am sure you have spoken up for many many writers of all kinds ... i was settling in to the lull of languidity you painted then knee jerked at the turn ... i took this to mean trying to get published but on second reading realize it might not be you meaning
"After being ignored or slighted by commercial enthusiasm and " but either way i hope you feel a bit better .. the honesty is refreshing .. nice job!

actually this is about me and a bit of personal commenting on a situation in the past ... I think that writers usually give their all . but "some" poets, poetess whatever.. start to believe their own press kits.. and actually think their opinion should matter more than the one writing the darn thing.. NOT@@@ not in my world .. I own my work and it stays true to me.. like it or don't but it is mine. thank you Einstein for reading my stuff. that is why I write so that others can smile and say.. hey I enjoyed that.. you know that is the reason
